Festuca galiciensis, a new endemic species from Western Ukraine is described. Its ecology, distribution, morphology and leaf anatomy are discussed. The taxonomic relationship of the new species with F. rupicola, with which it grows in mixed populations, and its delimitation with respect to other species of the F. valesiaca group, are also discussed.

The new species Impatiens elianae is described from cultivated plants said to have been collected in central Madagascar. It is part of the I. lyallii complex and closely related to I. trichoceras from eastern central Madagascar, but differs in having a glossy lamina with silvery part in the centre, linear extrafloral nectaries, 2-flowered inflorescences, relatively long hairs (0.8–1.2 mm) on the sepals, larger size and shape of the broad ovate crest at the dorsal side of the dorsal petal, shorter spur, and (3–) 5 rows of pink hairs on the ovary and fruit. Impatiens trichoceras is taken from the synonymy of Impatiens lyallii and is considered as a species of its own.

A freshwater crab, Sudanonautes kagoroensis n.sp., is described and illustrated on the basis of 57 specimens from seven localities in the guinea savanna zone of central Nigeria. The taxonomic relationship of S. kagoroensis to other freshwater crabs from Nigeria belonging to this genus is discussed and its ecology and distribution are described. Seven species of Sudanonautes Bott, 1955 are now known from Nigeria.

The genus Clemensiella (Apocynaceae – Asclepiadoideae) is reported to include two species. Clemensiella mariae, a Philippine endemic, is redescribed, illustrated, and lectotypified. Its chromosome number (2n = 22) is reported for the first time. The recently described Hoya viracensis is synonymised with Clemensiella mariae. Clemensiella omlori is described as a new species from Borneo and Sumatra. The taxonomic relationship of Clemensiella to other genera of tribe Marsdenieae is discussed.

A new species Craniospermum volkovae Ovczinnikova (Boraginaceae) from relationship of C. pseudotuvinicum Ovczinnikova et A. Korolyuk, is described from the Central Mongolian-Altai province of Mongolia. Morphological and ecologo-cenotic peculiarities of the new species are discussed, and the necessity of its treatment within a separate section Pseudotuvinica Ovczinnikova is substantiated.

Beaucarnea olsonii is described and illustrated from tropical deciduous forests of SW Puebla, Mexico. The new species can be distinguished from other Beaucarnea species by its massively swollen base that abruptly tapers into slender branches, by its conspicuously long stigma, and by its pedicel articulation that occurs at 2/3 of the length of the pedicel below the flower. With this new addition, the total number of endemic species of Beaucarnea for Mexico increases to 10, making this country the greatest center of diversification and endemism for the genus. We also provide a distribution map and a conservation status recommendation for the new species, as well as a key to the Beaucarnea species of southern central Mexico.

Representatives of some poorly known spider species collected in the rainforest litter of the Orchid Island (Taiwan) are illustrated and discussed here. A new species, Brignoliella tao sp. nov. (Fam. Tetrablemmidae), endemic to Orchid Island, is described based on both sexes. The previously unknown female of Theridiosoma triumphale Zhao & Li, 2012 (Fam. Theridiosomatidae), is described for the first time. Zoma taiwanica (Zhang, Zhu & Tso 2006) comb. nov., from the same family, is illustrated and its transfer from the genus Theridiosoma O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1879 to Zoma Saaristo, 1996 is proposed on the basis of morphological characters. Habitus and genitalia of the endemic species Gongylidioides angustus Tu & Li, 2006 (Fam. Linyphiidae) are also illustrated.

Valeriana iganciana, an endemic species from the Serra do Tabuleiro highlands of Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil, is described and illustrated. The new species shares morphological affinities with V. ulei, from which it is distinguished mainly by leaves with entire margin, by the cymose architecture of the inflorescence and by the triquetrous and elliptical fruits with annular to dentate calyx.
