Guihaia heterosquama X. Y. Li, a new species from Chongqing, China, is described and illustrated. Guihaia heterosquama is similar to G. grossifibrosa and G. argyrata both in the shape of the leaf blade and flower structure, but it can be easily distinguished by its leaf scales, leaf sheath fibers and hastula. Notably, Guihaia heterosquama differs from all the reported species of Guihaia by the presence of a distinct pistillode in the male flower.

Primulina rubribracteata Z.L. Ning & M. Kang, a new species of Gesneriaceae from southern Hunan, China, is described and illustrated. The new species morphologically resembles P. polycephala (Chun) Mich. Möller & A. Weber and P. porphyria X.L. Yu & Ming Li, but it can be easily distinguished by having ovate or broadly ovate leaf blade, purple red bracts and calyx, shorter peduncle and pedicel, thoroughly purple corolla, unbranched cymes with 1–4 flowers, and densely glandular pubescent inside corolla lobes.

Byrsonima delicatula, a new species of Malpighiaceae endemic to Roraima State, northern Brazil, is described and illustrated. Byrsonima delicatula is most similar to B. intermedia, from which it is distinguished by leaf blade and ovary pubescence, and stipule, bract, and bracteole length.

Ainsliaea simplicissima M. J. Zhang & H.-Q. Li, sp. nov., a new species (tribe Mutiseiae, Asteraceae) from Fujian, China, is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular analyses. It can be distinguished by leaves situated in a basal rosette or aggregated at the lower part of the short stem, leaf blade narrowly elliptic or lanceolate, thick papyraceous, and capitulum bearing only one flower. The new species is morphologically similar to A. trinervis and molecularly sister to A. fragrans, both distributed nearby.

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.

Aspidistra xichouensis, a new species of Asparagaceae from Xichou County, Yunnan Province, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is similar to A. minutiflora, A. graminifolia and A. cylindrica in the shape of leaf blade and the size and structure of flowers, but can be easily distinguished mainly by the conspicuous petiole, upright peduncle, and erect flowers with 4(–5) perianth lobes. The results of comparisons with the related species are also provided.

A new species of Gesneriaceae, Primulina porphyrea, is described and illustrated from southern Hunan, China. The new species resembles P. polycephala and P. yangshuoensis in leaf blade shape and indumentum of the plants, but it can be easily distinguished by having long petiole and purple leaf abaxial surface, purple corolla lobes and yellow corolla tube with several reddish-purple stripes, dark yellow filaments, and 3 staminodes. It flowers from May to August.

A new species of Hemiboea, H. roseoalba, from Guangdong, China, is described and illustrated. It is similar to H. gracilis and H. angustifolia in leaf and flower shape, but can be distinguished by leaf blade with serrulate from the middle to the apex, lateral veins 7-9 on each side of midrib; peduncle 2.5-3.0 cm long, glabrous; cymes 4-6-flowered; triangular calyx base connate for c. 0.3 cm; pink corolla 4.0-4.3 cm long and margin of lobes curled or retroflexed; staminodes 3; pistil 3.7-4.0 cm long; disc 2 mm high and truncate stigma slightly swollen.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpt.v20i2.17391Bangladesh J.

A new species of Oreocharis (Gesneriaceae) from Cao Bang province, northern Vietnam is described and illustrated. The new species, Oreocharis caobangensis, is most similar to O. lungshengensis, but it can be easily distinguished from the latter by its petioles densely brownish villous, lateral veins 6–8 pair on each leaf blade, bracts smaller (1.5–2 mm long), corolla outside pubescent and pistil glabrous, 18–20 mm long.
