Paris lihengiana (Melanthiaceae), a new species from Yunnan Province, China, is described and illustrated based on evidence from morphological characters and molecular phylogeny. It differs from other species of Paris in its pubescent stem, pedicel and abaxial leaf surface, as well as other characters. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of 33 taxa in Paris was conducted based on nuclear ribosomal ITS and six plastid markers. Paris lihengiana is supported as a new species by both morphological characters and molecular data.

We here describe and illustrate Begonia tadungensis (B. sect. Platycentrum), a new species from southern Vietnam. The new species is most similar to B. albopunctata in having broadly ovate leaves, three free styles, 4-loculed ovary, and berry-like fruits with a beaked apex, but differs mainly in having a glabrous abaxial leaf surface (not densely red pubescent), and fruits with gray puberlous hairs (not white papillose). It is also similar to B. pendens in its broadly ovate leaves and monoecious breeding system, but differs in having 6 tepals in the pistillate flowers (not 5) and 4-loculed ovaries (not 3-loculed). Information on ecology, conservation status, and a further comparison of characters with these two similar species is also provided.

A new species named as Lasianthus halconensis from Mt. Halcon, Mindoro, Philippines is described and illustrated. This species is easily distinguished from the other Lasianthus by having strigose indumentum on branches, abaxial leaf surface, petioles and calyx; lanceolate leaves, cuneate at base; obconical calyx and drupes with 8 pyrenes. This species is allied to L. obliquinervis and L. chrysoneurus but differs in stem, leaf and calyx indumentum, leaf and calyx shape and the absence of bracts. Moreover, three new records of Lasianthus in the country are reported including their diagnosis.

A new species of Cirsium, C. taiwanense Y.H.Tseng & Chih Y.Chang from central-northern Taiwan is reported in this article. This species is similar to C. hosokawae Kitam. in having a densely cobwebby abaxial leaf surface, but differs in its yellow (vs. vivid purplish red) corolla and the angle between the midrib and the lateral veins of the leaf, which is acute as opposed to nearly at a right angle in C. hosokawae. Cirsium taiwanense has 2n = 32 chromosomes, which is different from the other species in the Taiwanese subsect. Australicirsium Kitam. (2n = 34). An identification key to the Cirsium taxa of Taiwan is presented.

A new species of Miconia from Brazilian Cerrado vegetation is described and illustrated. Miconia astrocalyx belongs to the “Miconia albicans clade”, which is part of Miconia section Miconia subsection Seriatiflorae. This species can be distinguished from the species in this subsection by the stellate yellowish indumentum on the branches and abaxial leaf surface, the large calyx lobes persistent in fruit, petal margins with glandular-stipitate trichomes, and connective appendages ventrally slightly bilobed with a very small dorsal inconspicuous tooth. Additionally, we provide comments about its distribution, habitat, phenology and taxonomic affinities.

A new species of Coccothrinax is described and illustrated. Currently it is only known from cultivation, but it breeds true from seed. Consulted experts in the genus and palm specialists from Cuba and the Dominican Republic are unfamiliar with this species. Historical aspects point to a Cuban origin. It is currently being cultivated in various localities in South Florida and so far only known from this country. This palm is clearly distinguished by its compact crown, short petioles, tiny seed, almost imperceptible short costa and lack of a silvery abaxial leaf surface. A detailed description, illustration, and images are provided.

Primulina lechangensis (Gesneriaceae), a new species from northern Guangdong province in southern China is described and illustrated. Its morphology suggests affinities to P. longicalyx, but can be distinguished from similar taxon by several distinct characters including: smaller leaf blade (2.0-3.5 × 1.0-1.2 cm), base cuneate-attenuate; smaller bracts (1.0-1.5 × c. 0.15 cm); shorter calyx lobes (0.8-0.9 cm long) tuberculate inside; smaller corolla tube (c. 2 cm long), inflated in the middle and contracted near the mouth; shorter glabrous filaments (0.3-0.4 cm long), inserted 1.3-1.5 cm from base of corolla; stamens and staminodes glabrous; pistil 1.4-1.5 cm long, and capsule c. 1.5 cm long. This species is further exemplified by photographs, and a distribution map is presented.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpt.v21i2.21359Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 21(2): 187-191, 2014 (December)

A New Species

In this paper we describe and illustrate Caraipa pilosa, a new species from the Venezuelan Guayana endemic to the Parú massif, morphologically similar to C. aracaensis, a species endemic to Serra do Aracá in Amazonas, Brazil. These two species have similar leaf type (conspicuously coriaceous, the margins revolute and with conspicuous pubescence on the abaxial leaf surface), but in Caraipa pilosa the trichomes are longer (≤1 mm) than in C. aracaensis (≤0.1 mm) and present in young stems, upper leaf surface (especially in young leaves), inflorescence axes, sepals, ovaries, and fruits. Also, in Carapia pilosa, leaf blades are consistently larger than in C. aracaensis. Caraipa pilosa is only known from the montane forest of Cerro Parú, and its conservation status is Least Concern (LC, following the IUCN Red List categories).
