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.

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 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.

<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.

Recent botanical explorations in Sierra Madre Occidental in Durango, Mexico, led to the discovery of a new species which according to its morphology belongs to Salvia sect. Brandegeia. The new taxon is morphologically most similar to S. oresbia from central Mexico, against which it is thoroughly compared. Additionally, it is presented a synopsis of the section in order to provide updated and standardized descriptions for those species known only in base to their protologues, which allows a more detailed and precise comparison in respect to the new species. The morphological examination of the species in the section also revealed that the recognition of S. sharpii as a distinct species from S. blepharophylla is not justified; consequently, it is reduced to synonymy. An identification key, a distribution map, photographs, and a drawing of the new species are also presented.

Pitcairnia queroana, known only from the state of Chiapas, Mexico, is here described and illustrated. The new taxon superficially resembles P. sulphurea but differs from it by the presence of long petioles, longer inflorescence with more than 60 flowers, purple calyx, and the conspicuous and dense white-lanate-tomentose indument that covers all the inflorescence. An identification key for the taxa of the genus present in this state is also included.

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 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.

The characteristics of seven crystal-forming Bacillus spp. are compared and an identification key is presented. It is concluded that the following changes in nomenclature are desirable: Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner becomes the type species Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis n. comb.; Bacillus sotto Ishiwata becomes Bacillus thuringiensis var. sotto n. comb.; and Bacillus cereus var. alesti Toumanoff and Vago becomes Bacillus thuringiensis var. alesti.Two new species, Bacillus entomocidus n. sp. and Bacillus finitimus n. sp., and a new variety, Bacillus entomocidus var. subtoxicus n. sp., are described.

Cladocolea spathiflora, a new species from Guerrero, Mexico, is described and illustrated. The new taxon is compared with C. pringlei and C. grahamii, species with similar characteristics; however, the flowers of C. spathiflora are associated to a spathaceous receptacle, while in the other two species the flowers are sessile on the axis of the inflorescence. An identification key and a distribution map of these taxa are included.

In this paper, Crepis setosa subsp. topaliana (Asteraceae), which is known as endemic to Greece, is recorded as a new taxon for the flora of Turkey. It grows in scrub and in cultivated and grassy roadside places in the northwest and western parts of Turkey. An extended description of C. setosa subsp. topaliana is presented here, together with an identification key. The conservation status of this subspecies and its chromosome number are indicated.
