Salvia daiguii Y.K.Wei & Y.B.Huang, a new species from China, is described. Salvia daiguii belongs to Salvia subg. Glutinaria (Raf.) G.X.Hu, C.L.Xiang & B.T.Drew, sect. Sobiso (Raf.) G.X.Hu, A.Takano & B.T.Drew, and is distinguished from morphologically similar species by differences in its habit, leaves, inflorescences and flowers. It has a narrow distribution in a karst region of Yongding District, Hunan Province, central China. A key to the Chinese species of section Sobiso is also presented.

A new species of Chrysosplenium (Saxifragaceae), C. zhangjiajieense, is described and illustrated from Zhangjiajie, Hunan province in China. This new species is similar to C. macrophyllum in having broad basal leaves and compact cymes, but it differs from the latter in that the whole plant of C. zhangjiajieense is densely covered by coarse and long white villus, and the leaf adaxial surface bears thickly wart points. The new species is also similar to C. davidianum, but differs by having white flowers, only one cauline leaf, oblong sepals and the stamen is longer than sepals while C. davidianum possess yellow flower, 2–5 cauline leaves, orbicular sepals and the stamen much shorter than sepals. Base on the field investigation, this new species is accessed to be endangered according to IUCN category and criteria.

A new species, Ophiocordyceps ramosissimumsp. nov., is described and illustrated. It was associated with larvae of Phassus nodus (Hepialidae) collected from Xuefeng Mountains, Hunan Province, China. It differs from similar species in having branched stromata without a sterile apex, superficial ascomata, and very wide asci and ascospores and in its occurrence on Phassus nodus in living roots or trunks of Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum. Multi-gene phylogenetic analysis of 5.8S-ITS rDNA, nrSSU, EF-1α, and RPB1 gene loci also confirmed the distinctiveness of this new species.

A new species of the nemourid genus Sphaeronemoura, S. tetragona Du & Zhao, sp. nov. is described from Hunan Province of southeastern China. The new species is illustrated and compared to the other similar species of this genus. Additional illustrations and records for S. songshana Li & Yang, 2009, S. multicurvata Li, Li & Yang, 2020, and S. grandicauda (Wu, 1973) are also provided.

Saxifraga shennongii L. Wang, W.B. Liao et J. J. Zhang, a new species of Saxifragaceae from Hunan, China, is described and illustrated. The new species belongs to genus Saxifraga sect. Irregulares and can be distinguished from other species by stolons absent, basal leaf blade subrounded and abaxially spotted, absence of foliar embryos in the sinus, petiole sparsely short glandular pilose or glabrous and inflorescence branches up to 10 cm long. Phylogenetic analysis based on four chloroplast DNA regions (rbcL, psbA-trnH, matK and psaJ-rpl33) confirmed that the new species differed from those similar species of Saxifraga sect. Irregulares. The new species is similar to S. daqiaoensis and S. mengtzeana, but differs in indumentum and the shape of leaf.

Saxifraga kegangii, a new species of Saxifraga sect. Irregulares (Saxifragaceae) from Hunan province of central China, is described and illustrated. This new species can be easily distinguished from related taxa by its leaf shape and disc semiannular around the side of the ovary. Placement of this species within Saxifraga sect. Irregulares is assessed based on molecular phylogenetic analysis of the nuclear ribosomal ITS and two chloroplast regions (trnL-F and psbA-trnH) sequences together with morphological comparisons.

An entomogenous taxon, associated with larvae of Phassus nodus (Hepialidae) collected from Xuefeng Mountains, Hunan Province, China, was found to be a new species, Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis sp. nov. It differs from similar species in having long stromata, without a sterile apex, narrow asci, long ascospores and by its occurrence on Phassus nodus in living root or trunk of Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum. Combined sequence data from the 5.8S-ITS rDNA, nrSSU, EF-1α, and RPB1 gene loci also confirmed the distinctiveness of this new species. It is presently the world’s largest known Cordyceps sensu lato species.

A new species of Lysimachia, L. xiangxiensis (Primulaceae), is described and illustrated from western Hunan, central China. The species is similar to L. melampyroides in plant densely strigillose, leaves subglabrous adaxially, and flowers usually solitary in axils of upper leaves, but differs by the succulent leaves, the creeping or ascending stems 15–25 cm long, and the suborbicular to broadly elliptic corolla lobes. This new species is also supported by a molecular phylogenetic analysis of some Lysimachia species based on ITS sequence data.

We present the description of Phrynus calypso sp. nov. from Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela This species is very similar to Phrynus pulchripes (Pocock), however after examining Colombian specimens of P. pulchripes (ca. type locality), many differences were found. Characters commonly used in diagnosis of Phrynus species are variable and make identification difficult. Differences in a few structures, like pedipalpal spines, could not be enough to provide a useful diagnosis.  It is necessary to account for variation of similar species in conjunction, and select non overlapping groups of characters. Observations in the variation in both species are presented, pointing out sources of confusion, and suggesting alternative characters to support diagnoses. At the moment, details about variation in many species in Phrynus, like that of P. pulchripes, are poorly known, and for this reason a redescription is provided.
