Taxillus thibetensis (Lecomte) Danser (Loranthaceae), a species previously known only from China, is newly recorded from Vietnam. A specimen discovered in the rainforest of Lao Cai province, Northern Vietnam was identified as Taxillus thibetensis based on both morphological and molecular data. The Vietnamese individuals of Taxillus thibetensis are closely related to T. thibetensis in China. A detailed description,  illustration and data on distribution, ecology, phenology of Vietnamese Taxillus thibetensis are provided

Yua C.L. Li (Vitaceae), a genus previously known from China, Nepal and India, is newly recorded from Vietnam. A specimen discovered in the rainforest of Lao Cai province, northern Vietnam was identified as Yua austro-orientalis (F.P. Metcalf) C.L. Li based on both morphological and molecular data. To improve our understanding of relationships between Yua and Parthenocissus Planch., we present diagnostic characteristics for these two genera. We discuss leaf, stem and seed features used to distinguish between Y. austro-orientalis and Y. thomsonii (M.A. Lawson) C.L. Li, a species widely distributed in China, Nepal and northern India. The opportunity is taken to review the typification of all Yua taxa. A lectotype is selected for Vitis thomsonii M.A. Lawson.

Parafimbrios has been reported in Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. In this paper, based on morphological and molecular data, Parafimbrios lao was reported as the first record of a genus and species of odd-scaled snake in China. This record extends the extent of occurrence to 65,000 km2 and the area of occurrence to 20 km2.

Many species and subspecies of Potamon have been described from the easternmost distribution of the genus in the western tributaries of the Indus River. Most of them were synonymised subsequently under the two names of currently valid species known from the region: Potamon gedrosianum Alcock, 1909 and Potamon ruttneri Pretzmann, 1962. Genetic and morphological information, based on mitochondrial 16S rDNA and the first male gonopod (G1), were gathered in the course of the present study. The corresponding results suggest the occurrence of four groups and question the taxonomic status of both species. We also revise the distribution range of both species, in particular that of P. gedrosianum, with a new record from Iran. Overall, the study reveals the need for a major revision using further morphological and molecular data. Because of the complexity of this necessary revision and the incomplete sampling, we here refrain from proposing any taxonomic conclusions.

The genus Alpinia Roxb. is one of the largest genera of Zingiberaceae family, with about 250 species on the world and 35 species in Vietnam. Many species of Alpinia are used in traditional medicine of Vietnam such as Alpinia oblongifolia, Alpinia oxyphylla,... In this article, Alpinia graminifolia - a new record species for Vietnam flora was discovered in the mountain of Northern Vietnam (Quang Ninh province and Bac Giang province). Specimens were collected in Quang Ninh province (Uong Bi City, Thuong Yen Cong commune, Yen Tu mountain) and Bac Giang province (Son Dong dist., Thanh Luan commune), deposited at the Vietnam National Museum of Nature (VNMN), herbarium of Hanoi University of Pharmacy (HNIP), herbarium of Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (HN).

Entosthodon elimbatus W.Z. Ma, Shevock & S. He, a new species from a sub-alpine area in Yunnan, China, is described here based on morphological and molecular data. Morphologically, the new species resembles the widespread species E. buseanus, but differs most notably in having significantly shortened setae, smaller capsules and nearly unbordered laminae. Images from the scanning electron microscope also show compound-papillose ornamentation over the spore surface, which is characteristic of this new species. The generic validation of the new species in Entosthodon is supported by a phylogenetic analysis based on the plastid rps4 sequence. Entosthodon physcomitrioides, characterized by its well-developed apophysis and peristome, is confirmed as a new record for mainland China. Detailed descriptions and illustrations for both species are provided.

Two new Cyrtodactylus species are described from Houaphan and Luang Prabang provinces in Laos based on morphological and molecular data. Cyrtodactylus houaphanensis sp. nov. differs from all other Cyrtodactylus in the C. wayakonei species group by at least 3.3 % genetic divergence in the COI gene and can be diagnosed in morphology as follows: SVL 75.8 mm; supralabials 9 or 10; infralabials 8 or 9; ventral scales 35; dorsal tubercles in 20 rows at midbody; precloacal pores 6 in the male; femoral pores absent; subcaudals enlarged; five irregular, brown bands between limb insertions. The new species morphologically resembles C. chauquangensis and revealed to be a sister taxon to C. puhuensis according to our genetic analyses, from which it mainly differs in the absence of enlarged femoral scales. Cyrtodactylus ngoiensis sp. nov. differs from other closely related congeners by at least 11.6 % genetic divergence in the COI gene and can be diagnosed in morphology as follows: maximum SVL 95.3 mm; supralabials 6–9; infralabials 8–11; ventral scales 38–43; dorsal tubercles in 15–21 rows at midbody; enlarged femoral scales present; precloacal pores 7 in the male, 7 pitted scales in females; femoral pores 14 in the male, absent in females; five bright yellowish transverse dorsal bands; subcaudals enlarged. The new species is shown to be a member of the C. wayakonei species group, but morphologically resembles C. dumnuii from Thailand. According to our phylogenetic analyses, it is a basal taxon to a clade comprising C. spelaeus, C. chauquangensis, C. vilaphongi, C. cucphuongensis, C. puhuensis, C. houaphanensis, C. otai and C. bobrovi. Based on a new record of C. bansocensis from central Laos, which represents the first recorded female we provide a redescription of C. bansocensis including expanded diagnosis. In addition, an updated identification key for the Cyrtodactylus known from Laos is provided.
