China is shown to currently support 23 species of the large, basically warm temperate to tropical Asian genus Hyleoglomeris,all keyed and mapped, including 15 new ones: H. tiani sp. n., H. xia sp. n. and H. youhao sp. n. from Hunan Province, H. wusesp. n., H. nigu sp. n., H. gudu sp. n. and H. yinshi sp. n. from Guizhou Province, as well as H. qiyi sp. n., H. lii sp. n., H.heshang sp. n., H. xueju sp. n., H. mulunensis sp. n., H. mashanorum sp. n., H. curtisulcata sp. n. and H. kunnan sp. n. fromGuangxi Province. Hyleoglomeris eusulcata Golovatch, Geoffroy & Mauriès, 2006 has been recorded and redescribed from anew, near-topotype sample. Two new species groups are being proposed: the venustula- and the albicorporis-group. The statusof Nearctomeris Wesener, 2012, a monobasic genus from the eastern USA, is questioned viz-à-viz Hyleoglomeris, albeit no formal synonymy is being proposed.

A New Species

Chrysanthemum bizarre (Asteraceae), a new species from Hunan Province, China, is described and illustrated. It is similar to Chrysanthemum vestitum in that its leaves are pubescent, and the ray florets are white. However, it differs from C. vestitum in that the abaxial pubescence of C. bizarre (6.5%) is much more sparsely appressed than that of C. vestitum (64.9%). The leaf blade is triangular ovate with its base extending downward on both sides of petiole to form wings. Only one capitulum, of which the outmost phyllaries are leaflike, develops at the tip of every flowering scape rather than forming an unconsolidated cyme synflorescence. In addition, the lectotype of C. vestitum was designated in this study.
