A new orchid species, Hemipilia galeata, is described and illustrated from Wuyi Mountains, Fujian Province, southeastern China, and included in a phylogenetic analysis using the nuclear ribosomal ITS and three plastid markers (matK, trnL intron and trnL-F spacer) DNA. This species is a member of H. section Hemipilia sensu Tang et al. and is distinguished from other species in Hemipilia by its hemispheric dorsal sepal. It is similar to H. hemipilioides, H. occidensichuanensis and H. thailandica, but H. galeata differs by its elliptic, purple-spotted leaf, suborbicular petals, oblong lateral lip lobes and an ovate midlobe.

Peponium elgonense, a new species of Cucurbitaceae from Mount Elgon in Kenya, is described and illustrated here with photographs. This species is similar to P. cienkowskii and P. vogelii, but differs by being monoecious and having a longer ovary. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of Peponium based on ITS and five plastid markers (trnL–F, rpl20–rps12, matK, rbcL, and trnL intron) of four species of Peponium further shows that P. elgonense individuals cluster together supporting the argument to regard it as a separate species.

A New Species

A new species of fire-bellied newt, Cynops fudingensis, is described from northeastern Fujian Province, southeastern China. This species forms a well-supported clade with C. orientalis and C. orphicus based on molecular phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide sequences from mitochondrial DNA subunit two of NADH dehydrogenase and its two flanking tRNAs. Further, its genetic distance to each of the two previously described species is large. Principal-components analysis of external linear measurements differentiates the new species from C. orientalis and C. orphicus in morphological space. Geographically, C. fudingensis occupies the distribution gap between C. orientalis and C. orphicus.

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.

A New Species

A new orchid species, Liparis funingensis, from Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated in this study based on morphological and molecular analyses. A detailed comparison between the newly discovered orchid and other members of Liparis was performed. This new plant is characterized by an obovate lip and is trilobed. The sidelobes are semiorbicular and fleshy, and the midlobe is short and bilobed with triangular lobes. The disc has a deeply bilobed basal callus and two longitudinal lamellae from the base extending to above the middle. There are four pollinia in two pairs, with each pair exhibiting long caudicles without a viscidium. The rostellum also has a bursa synovialis. These features distinguish this new orchid from all other known species of Liparis. A phylogenetic analysis was subsequently performed to determine the systematic position of this enigmatic species. A molecular study based on nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid matK DNA sequence data indicates that L. funingensis is a member of L. layardii subclade.

A new species of the Oriental Perlidae genus Neoperlops Banks, 1939, Neoperlops triangulatus sp. nov. is described from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southern China. Neoperlops gressitti Banks, 1939 is redescribed, and recorded from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region for the first time. Neoperlops huanghuye (Chen, 2020) comb. n., recently described from Fujian Province from southeastern China, is transferred from Phanoperla Banks, 1938. The six species of the genus are classified in two groups of morphologically similar species.

The Amolops populations in the coastal hills in eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian, China, were controversially recorded as A. hongkongensis or A. daiyunensis before. In this study, based on the morphological examination and phylogenetic analysis of the specimens from these areas, a new species, Amolops teochew sp. nov., is described. Amolops teochew sp. nov. can be distinguished reliably from A. hongkongensis and A. daiyunensis by a combination of characteristics morphologically and distinct divergences genetically. The description of the new species highlights the Amolops diversity in the limited hilly region of southeastern China, which is remarkably higher than that in the more extensive inland region of southeastern China.

The molecular phylogeny of Miliusa (Annonaceae) is reconstructed, with 27 (of ca. 50) species included, using a combination of seven plastid markers (rbcL exon, trnL intron, trnL-F spacer, matK exon, ndhF exon, psbA-trnH spacer, and ycf1 exon) constituting ca. 7 kb. In addition, two new species of Miliusa are described from the Malesian area: M. butonensis sp. nov. from Buton Island, Indonesia and M. viridiflora sp. nov. from Papua New Guinea. The former is included in the molecular phylogenetic analysis. The reconstructed phylogeny corresponds well to the informal morphological grouping proposed earlier. A revised key to 13 Austro-Malesian species of Miliusa is provided.

A New Species

Abstract—Amblyanthus chenii (Primulaceae; Myrsinoideae) is a new species discovered growing in the understory of primeval forests in Medog County, southeast Xizang, China and is described based on morphological evidence. This is the first generic record of Amblyanthus in China. The new species is most morphologically similar to A. multiflorus. Amblyanthus chenii can be easily distinguished from other congeneric species by various morphological differences. A phylogenetic analysis based on nuclear ribosomal ITS and six plastid markers indicated that A. chenii and Amblyanthopsis burmanica form a clade that is nested within the large pantropical genus Ardisia and is sister to Ardisia subgenus Crispardisia. The close relationship among Amblyanthus, Amblyanthopsis, and Ardisia subg. Crispardisia is strongly supported by their shared synapomorphy of crenulate leaves with marginal glands.

A New Species

The first species of the genus Pteroglossa is recorded from Peru. Pteroglossa acalcarata, a new orchid species from the eastern slope of the Peruvian Andes, is described and illustrated. It is similar in overall floral morphology to Pteroglossa macrantha, which is its closest relative according to a phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide sequences of plastid matK-trnK region presented here. However, P. acalcarata is distinguished from P. macrantha by its pubescent petals (vs. glabrous), inconspicuous lateral lobes of the labellum free from the sides of the column and absence of a spur.
