The present list is the third to be published in the series Repatriation of Kew herbarium data for the Flora of Northeastern Brazil. 1392 specimens (58 types) from NE Brazil were databased and repatriated between 2002 and 2004, after being identified by leading authorities or using the most recently published revisions or monographs, and/or by comparison with authoritatively named herbarium vouchers. In total 191 species are recorded in 24 genera for the whole of the Cyperaceae. These are alphabetically arranged and sorted by state, collector and number. In addition to this main list, a full exsiccatae list (an alphabetical list of collector and collector s number) allows curators, students and researchers to name a duplicate collection lodged in any herbarium in the world to be checked against the determination of that collection at Kew.

Science news is met by the public with a mixture of fascination and disengagement. On the one hand, Americans are inflamed by topics ranging from the question of whether or not Pluto is a planet to the ethics of stem-cell research. But the complexity of scientific research can also be confusing and overwhelming, causing many to divert their attentions elsewhere and leave science to the “experts.” Whether they follow science news closely or not, Americans take for granted that discoveries in the sciences are occurring constantly. Few, however, stop to consider how these advances—and the debates they sometimes lead to—contribute to the changing definition of the term “science” itself. Going beyond the issue-centered debates, Daniel Patrick Thurs examines what these controversies say about how we understand science now and in the future. Drawing on his analysis of magazines, newspapers, journals and other forms of public discourse, Thurs describes how science—originally used as a synonym for general knowledge—became a term to distinguish particular subjects as elite forms of study accessible only to the highly educated.

Scientists use concepts and principles that are partly specific for their subject matter, but they also share part of them with colleagues working in different fields. Compare the biological notion of a 'natural kind' with the general notion of 'confirmation' of a hypothesis by certain evidence. Or compare the physical principle of the 'conservation of energy' and the general principle of 'the unity of science'. Scientists agree that all such notions and principles aren't as crystal clear as one might wish.An important task of the philosophy of the special sciences, such as philosophy
