Johnson2, Raymond W. J. M. van der Ham3 & Lars W. Chatrou4 Summary. A replacement generic name, Huberantha Chaowasku, is proposed for the recently described genus Hubera Chaowasku segregated from Polyalthia Blume because the name Hubera has been recommended to be treated as a later homonym of Huberia DC. (Melastomataceae) by the nomenclature committee for vascular plants. Consequently, new combinations of twenty-seven species presently recognised are made under Huberantha. Key Words. New combination, nomenclature, Polyalthia. Introduction The genus Hubera Chaowasku is a member of tribe Miliuseae of subfamily Malmeoideae of the pantropical family Annonaceae (Chaowasku et al. 2014). It was recently established and characterised using a combination of molecular phylogenetic and morphological evidence to accommodate a clade of Polyalthia Blume species distantly related to Polyalthia s.s. and allied to Miliusa Lesch. ex A. DC. (Chaowasku et al. 2012). The genus is widely distributed, ranging from East Africa and Madagascar through southern and southeastern Asia to Malesia and the southwestern Pacific, and is morphologically circumscribed by the presence of reticulate tertiary venation of leaves, axillary inflorescences, a single ovule/seed per ovary/monocarp, seeds with a flat to slightly raised raphe, spiniform(flattened peg) endosperm ruminations and pollen with a finely and densely granular infratectum (Chaowasku et al. 2012). According to the recommendation of the nomenclature committee for vascular plants to treat Hubera as a later homonym of Huberia DC. (Melastomataceae) (Applequist 2014; see also relevant literature: McNeill et al. 2012 [Art. 53.3 of International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants] and Chaowasku 2013), the generic name Huberantha Chaowasku is proposed as a replacement name for Hubera. The new combinations of twenty-seven species presently recognised are accordingly made under Huberantha; for other relevant information about the genus, including homotypic synonym(s) of each species (if any), consult Chaowasku et al. (2012). Huberantha Chaowasku, nom. nov. Type: Huberantha cerasoides (Roxb.) Chaowasku. http://www.ipni.org/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77146143-1 Replacement name for Hubera Chaowasku, in Chaowasku et al., Phytotaxa 69: 46 (2012), nom. illegit., non Huberia DC. ETYMOLOGY. The replacement name Huberantha means “Huber’s flowers”. Similar to Hubera (see Chaowasku et al. 2012: 47), it is also named in honour of Prof. Herbert Huber (1931 – 2005), but Huberantha highlights the importance of flowers (and structures associated with flowers [pollen] or derived from flowers [seeds]) as features to distinguish this genus from several morphologically similar genera in tribe Miliuseae, i.e. Marsypopetalum Scheff., Monoon Miq., Accepted for publication 15 April 2015. 1 Herbarium, Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University, 239 Huay Kaew Rd., Chiang Mai 50200( Thailand. e-mail: craibella@hotmail.com 2 Department of Botany-Microbiology, Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware( Ohio 43015( USA. 3 Naturalis Biodiversity Center (Botany Sector), P.O.
