Diagnostic characteristics, a full description, and comprehensive illustrations and microphotographs of the pollens and seeds are provided. Campanula phitosiana is a stenoendemic species distributed along the Aydın Mountain range near the county of Tire in the province of İzmir in Turkey. It is morphologically related to C. andrewsii, C. celsii, and C. topaliana, which all are distributed on rock crevices in Greece. Differences among the related species are given in detail. A preliminary IUCN Red List assessment of the new species is supplied.

Begonia erythrobracteata (Begoniaceae) is a new, narrow endemic from the Atlantic Coastal Forest of Brazil. This species is closely related to Begonia olsoniae and B. fimbritepala and shares their rupicolous habit and transversely ovate leaf blades with a cordate base. It differs to B. fimbritepala in its petioles, which are densely squamulose along their entire length (vs. with simple trichomes) and B. olsoniae by its glabrous (vs. pilose) adaxial leaf surface. B. erythrobracteata is described and illustrated with detailed field photographs, and a provisional IUCN Red List Assessment is provided.

Impatiens wutaishanensis R.L. Liao & Lei Cai, a new species from Southeast Yunnan, China, is here described and illustrated. This new species is most similar to Impatiens parvisepala S.X. Yu & Y.T. Hou in its racemose inflorescences, its four lateral sepals, the leaf arrangement, and in having yellow flowers. However, it differs in the height of the plants, the length of the petiole, the size and shape of the leaf blade, the shape of the spur, and the number of flowers in each inflorescence. A detailed description, color photographs, and a provisional IUCN red list assessment are provided, and its geographical distribution, ecology, and morphological relationship with relevant similar species are discussed.

Campanula leblebicii Yıldırım (Campanulaceae) is described here as a new species. Diagnostic morphological characters, a full description, and detailed illustrations are given herein. C. leblebicii is restricted to the Çaldede Mountain in Kemalpaşa district of İzmir Province in western Anatolia, Turkey. According to its morphological features, it belongs to Campanula L. subgenus Campanula section Rupestres (Boiss.) Charadze. It shows morphological and ecological similarities with C. mugeana Yıldırım, belonging to C. section Quinqueloculares (Boiss.) Phitos., and to C. koyuncui Duman and C. teucrioides Boiss. belonging to C. section Rupestres. However, C. leblebicii is easily distinguished from these taxa, especially by its glabrous habit; stigma, 3-lobed, and capsule, open by 3 basal valves, shiny, and never concealing by enlarged appendages (from C. mugeana); smaller calyx appendages; capsule never hidden by enlarged calyx appendages, and habitat phyllite-schistose rocks (from C. koyuncui); entire leaves, calyx appendages minute, never enlarged after anthesis (from C. teucrioides).

Valeriana sobraliana, a new species from the highland grasslands of the Atlantic Rainforest Domain, Southern Brazil, is described and illustrated. The new species shares morphological affinities with V. catharinensis, V. organensis and V. ulei, but differs mainly by the leaves strongly discolorous and long-petiolate, as well as by the lanceolate and larger bracteoles, by the larger staminate flowers and by the elliptic achenes. It also differs by the distribution restricted to the High Altitude Tropical Grasslands of the Serra do Mar mountain range, Paraná state and border with the Santa Catarina state, in a remarkable disjunction with the other related species. Additionally, we provide the preliminary conservation status assessments using IUCN Red List categories and criteria, as well as a checklist and a key to the species of Valeriana in the Paraná state.

Abstract—Siphocampylus nebularis is a new species endemic from the Serra do Mar mountain range in the Paraná state, Brazil. It is morphologically close to S. fulgens due its alternate phyllotaxis, sparsely denticulate leaves, and flowers with reddish corolla tube, differing mainly by the shorter corolla tube, longer calyx lobes, and coriaceous leaves observed in the new species. The new taxon is here described and illustrated. We also propose the inclusion of S. nebularis in the IUCN Red List as an endangered (EN) species due its narrow distribution and the decline of the quality of its habitat.

Lamium bilgilii Celep (Lamiaceae) is here described as a new species. It is confined to Altİnyayla (Dirmil), Burdur-Muğla border, in South-western Turkey. Lamium bilgilii differs from L. garganicum by its denser, long eglandular villous indumentum accompanied by short glandular hairs on the stem, leaf, inflorescence axis, calyx and corolla; larger corolla (40–52 mm), humped, and largely ventricose corolla tube and wider corolla throat. IUCN red list category, distribution map, notes on biogeography and ecology of the new species are also given.

Impatiens bijieensis X.X. Bai & L.Y. Ren, a new species from Northwest Guizhou, China, is here described and illustrated. This new species is distributed discontiguously in Jiulongshan of Dafang County and Dajiucaiping of Hezhang County, both of which belong to Wumeng mountains area, a karst plateau landform. It is morphologically similar to I. lasiophyton J.D. Hooker and I. leptocaulon J.D. Hooker in height, leaf blade shape and flower form, especially resembles I. lasiophyton in pilose plant. However, it differs in its deep purplish-red to rose-red flower, 2-lobed lower sepal apex and cylindrical capsule. A detailed description, color photographs, and a provisional IUCN red list assessment are provided, and its geographical distribution, ecology, and morphological relationship with relevant similar species are discussed.

Rehderodendron truongsonense, a new species from Vietnam, is described and illustrated. In the treatment of the Styracaceae for the Flore du Cambodge, du Laos, et du Viêtnam, specimens of this species were recognized as R. macrocarpum Hu. These specimens clearly differ from R. macrocarpum, however, as well as from all other species of Rehderodendron (where these characters are known) by, e.g., an evergreen versus deciduous habit, fewer secondary veins of the leaf blade, shorter inflorescences and corolla lobes, large and conspicuous lowermost bracteoles, the presence of eight ovules per carpel, and a fruit with ca. 10 to 20 ribs that are indistinct. Phylogenetic analysis based on five chloroplast DNA regions (clpP-psbB, ndhD-psaC-ndhE-ndhG, rpl22-rps19, rps18-rpl20, and psbI-trnS-GCU) placed the new species as nested within Rehderodendron and sister to R. gongshanense. This new species is endemic to the Truong Son Mountain Range, from which the epithet is derived, and we assign it an IUCN Red List preliminary status as Near Threatened.

Ischaemum mistryi, a new species from the Sub-Tropical evergreen forest of Tilari Ghat, Maharashtra, India, is described and illustrated. This grass is unique with its leaves drooping, mostly congregated near the base, basal sheath villous, culms compressed at the base, lower glume of the sessile spikelet linear-lanceolate to oblongish tapering and slightly curled upwards, without a sub-apical ridge, nodules absent (if present 2–4 obscure) on its keels, and upper lemma of sessile spikelet bi-partite. Morphologically it is somewhat similar to I. mangaluricum, I. travancorense and I. barbatum. We provided a table of its detailed comparison with close species as mentioned above. According to IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria, we have assessed this new species as Critically Endangered (CR). The photo plates and illustration of the grass are given to facilitate its proper identification. A short discussion is also provided at the end.
