Scrophularia dianatnejadii Ranjbar & Rahchamani, a new species from Tehran Province in northern Iran, is described and illustrated. It is closely related to S. amplexicaulis Benth. and shares with it some diagnostic morphological characters such as habit, plant indument, phyllotaxy, and corolla shape and color. Both species are placed in Scrophularia L. sect. Mimulopsis Boiss. Macro- and micromorphological characters of the two are examined and compared. Pollen morphology of these species is investigated using SEM. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, and conservation status of both species are provided.

Epimedium muhuangense (Berberidaceae), a new species from Guizhou, China, is described and illustrated. This species is most closely similar to E. elachyphyllum in having simple leaves, petals shorter than inner sepals, flowers less than 10 mm in diameter and in having the same pollen morphology as well, but differs by having stout, short rhizomes, two opposite, glabrous leaves on flowering stems, and paniculate inflorescences. The chromosomes of E. muhuangense is counted as 2n = 12 and the karyotype is formulated as s 2n = 2x = 6m (2sat) + 6sm. Line illustrations, color photographs, and micrographs of chromosomes and of pollen grains of E. muhuangense are provided.

In May 2020, a new taxon of Euphorbia, Euphorbiaceae was collected from a dry hillside of Dongsheng District, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. The morphological characteristics of the specimens analyzed differ from those of the known Euphorbia species from this region; therefore, we suspected this may be a new species, and we set to analyze the ITS2 sequences of some Euphorbia species. The results show that the new taxon belongs to the sect. Esula of Euphorbia subg. Esula. It is similar to Euphorbia esula (description from Flora of China) but does not belong to the same species. Concomitantly, plant morphological data and pollen morphology results show significant differences between the new taxon, E. esula and E. caesia, a finding that supports the delimitation of this new taxon, which is named Euphorbia mongoliensis in accordance with its geographical distribution.

A new species of the genus Cardamine Linn.(Brassicaceae), Cardamine kuankuoshuiense M. T. An, Yun Lin & Y. B. Yang is described, illustrated and photographed from Suiyang County, Guizhou Province, SW China. This species was found growing on damp precipice or between moist rock crevices in evergreen broad-leaved forests or mixed needle-leaved and evergreen broad-leaved forests in carst mountains at altitudes of 1400–1430 m. The new species is related to both Cardamine griffithii J. D. Hook. & Thomson and Cardamine multijuga Franch., but differs from both of them by herbs 15–25 cm tall, scapose, with a few stolons, stems terete, cauline leaves absent.

The Flora Neotropica treatment of Flaucourtiaceae s.l., by Sleumer, was a milestone in the study of the group and, consequently, of the families that were subsequently segregated from Flaucourtiaceae. Of these, Lacistemataceae comprise 16 tree-shrub species that usually occur in humid forests. However, specimens from campos rupestres in Bahia State, Brazil, were not analyzed by Sleumer so some morphological variation remained unnoticed. Here, we describe Lacistema ligiae, a new species from the campos rupestres of Bahia, and include notes on leaf venation and pollen morphology of related species. Lacistema ligiae can be recognized by leaf blades with sinuous secondary veins, which are covered by long and adpressed trichomes abaxially, hairy filament and ovary, and a distinct style not exceeding the height of the stamen.

A new species Strobilanthes orbiculata is described from the southern parts of the Western Ghats, India. It is a semelparous species found in the shola forests in Vattavada and Kundala in Idukki district of Kerala. Notes on pollen morphology, distribution, phenology, conservation status and photographic illustrations are given. Moreover, a short note on a narrow endemic taxon Strobilanthes matthewiana is also provided.

Deyeuxia gaoligongensis, a new species from the Gaoligong Shan region of NW Yunnan, SW China, is described and illustrated. The new grass is morphologically similar to D. debilis, but differs from the latter by its well-developed lemma awn that is twisted at the base, geniculate, and inserted on the lower half of the back of the lemma.

Zingiber hainanense (Zingiberaceae), a new species from Hainan, China, is described and illustrated. It is compared to two most similar members from Z. sect. Cryptanthium, Z. guangxiense from Guangxi, China and Z. kawagoii, an endemic species from Taiwan, China. Zingiber hainanense differs from Z. guangxiense mainly by labellum and staminodes being purple red (vs. yellowish white throughout in Z. guangxiense), and differs from Z. kawagoii by labellum and lateral staminodes being linear or narrowly ovate (vs. obovate-oblong in Z. kawagoii). The pollen morphology and chromosome number count as well as a color plate of the new species are also presented in this study.

Myrcia federalis, a new species closely related to M. goyazensis, distinguished by its hirsute flowers and strongly revolute blades, is described for the savannas of Central Brazil, in the Federal District. Additionally to its macromorphological description, leaf architecture and pollen morphology are described and illustrated; a couplet to distinguish it from M. goyazensis, a distribution map, and illustration are also presented.
