Phytolacca americana var. huadongensis is described and illustrated as a new taxon from eastern China. This new variety differs from P. americana var. americana and var. rigida by the pendulous or arciform thyrsoid inflorescences and infructescences. This new taxon is also morphologically similar to P. sanguinea and P. thyrsiflora, from which can be distinguished by both the pendulous inflorescence (P. sanguinea and P. thyrsiflora have erect thyrsoid inflorescences), and the 10(11)-carpellate gynoecia (vs. 9-carpellate gynoecia in P. sanguinea and 6–9-carpellate gynoecia in P. thyrsiflora).

A new variety of Hemitrichia serpula (Scop.) Rost. from Brazil, H. serpula var. piauiensis Cavalcanti & Mobin, is described and illustrated. The new taxon has a somewhat less spinulose capillitium, with short and scattered spines; spores are finely reticulate , with well-defined meshes. The type is deposited in the Herbarium UFP, Myxomycete Collection, Federal University of Pernambuco (Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil). A key to the three varieties of the species is presented as well.

A new variety of Tripogon nicorae from Peru is described and illustrated. The new taxon, Tripogon nicorae var. aristulata, has lower glumes with scabrous keels (vs. smooth keels in T. nicorae var. nicorae) and narrow paleas 0.4−0.5 mm wide [vs. (0.66−)0.9–1.4 mm wide in T. nicorae var. nicorae]. A discussion and an identification key to the species and varieties of Tripogon and Tripogonella in Peru are presented.

<em>Orthotrichum affine </em>var. <em>bohemicum </em>Plášek &amp; Sawicki, var. <em>nova</em>, is a confirmed record of a new variety from the Czech Republic. The new taxon is described and illustrated by photos and drawing. It is characterized by having superficial stomata and a peristome with 16 endostome segments (practically as long as exostome teeth). Molecular data indicating the phylogenetic placement of the species are presented.

A new variety of Schizachyrium tenerum from South America is described and illustrated. The new taxon (S. tenerum var. muticum) differs from the other varieties of the species (S. tenerum var. tenerum and S. tenerum var. hirtiglume) mainly by the absence of awns in the sessile spikelets, which is a very unusual character in the genus. The new variety occurs in Venezuela, Bolivia, and Brazil. A taxonomic discussion and an identification key for the infraspecific taxa of S. tenerum are also presented, as well as illustrations of all varieties of the species. Additionally, Schizachyrium tenerum var. hirtiglume is reported for the first time for Colombia.

A new variety of the marine diatom Haslea crucigeroides, H. crucigeroides var. australis, var. nov., is described here based on phytoplankton samples collected in sub-Antarctic coastal waters of the southern South America and Antarctica. The new taxon was characterized by using light and electron microscopy, and the holotype of H. crucigeroides, the only existing material type, was analyzed with light microscopy. Haslea crucigeroides var. australis differs from the nominal variety by having acute valve apices instead of acute rostrate; furthermore, it has a different geographical distribution. The species is being recorded in the Southern Hemisphere for the first time. Cell abundance and a brief discussion on the species habitat are also presented.

A new variety of Didymocarpus, D.heucherifoliusvar.gamosepalus from Guangdong, China, is described and illustrated with photographs. It closely resembles the more widespread D.heucherifolius within a number of morphological characters. However, it can be easily distinguished from the latter according to the new taxon: calyx base connate, 5-lobed from middle to above middle, larger flowers (up to 5 cm long) and glabrous corolla.

During a study to re-assess the genus Amomum Roxb. in Sri Lanka, we encountered a new variety of Amomum from Seven Virgin Hills of Peak Wilderness Sanctuary, Sri Lanka. This new specimen shows similar morphological characters to Amomum villosum var. villosum and var. xanthioides but it exhibits significant differences in some important characters such as lamina shape, ligule hairs, bract and bracteole hairs, non-tubular bracteoles and labellum color patterns which warrant the recognition of a new variety under A. villosum. All the important features of this new taxon (Amomum villosum var. zeylanicus) including morphology, habitat, geographical separation, ecology, and IUCN status assessment are described and illustrated for the first time.
