New combinations of 63 taxa of vascular plants in Japan and its adjacent regions are
proposed: one pteridophyte and 62 angiosperms, that were during updating of the database
YList (http://bean.bio.chiba-u.jp/bgplants/ylist_main.html) of the scientific and Japanese
names of Japanese vascular plants and pteridophytes. Taxonomic and nomenclatural
comments are given on (66) Ptisana boninensis, (70) Cinnamomum yabunikkei, (81)
Arabidopsis halleri subsp. gemmifera, (82) Catolobus ligulifolia, (91) Elaeocarpus
zollingeri, (103) Pseudognaphalium formosanum, (107) Anthoxanthum nitens, and (109)
Sacciolepis spicata. (Continued from J. Jpn. Bot. 80(6): 323–333, 2005)
