A new species of Calceolaria endemic to central Chile is described. A comparison with morphologically similar species is made, and a key as well as detailed images to differentiate them is provided. The species is only known from the Natural Sanctuary Cerro El Roble, which is part of the coastal mountain range of central Chile and can be considered as  Critically Endangered (CR) under the IUCN categories and criteria.

A New Species

A new endemic species, Nepenthes cabanae, belonging to sect. Insignes is described from the Mt. Pantaron range of central Mindanao. The species is assessed as Critically Endangered. This discovery brings the number of Nepenthes species in this mountain range to eight. Mt. Pantaron is currently not a protected area, but the diversity of Nepenthes taxa suggests concerted efforts should be made to develop a conservation strategy to preserve and protect the area.

A new species, Leucheria cantillanensissp. nov., endemic to the coastal mountain range of Central Chile, is described. By using both nDNA and cpDNA, phylogenetic relationships of the new species were investigated. This new species belongs to the acaulescent/subacaulescent clade of Leucheria, which is congruent with the morphology of the species. A detailed description, distribution map, insights about its habitat, conservation status, and illustrations are provided. An updated key for acaulescent/subacaulescent species of Leucheria from Central Chile is also given.

A New Species

Pycreus rubidomontanus is described as a new species. It is relatively widespread in tropical West Africa where it had been confused up to present with P. atrorubidus, a very rare endemic species from Zambia in south-central Africa that probably is known only from the type gathering. Differences between these and other similar species are discussed and the new species is copiously illustrated.

We describe here Begonia medeiroii, a narrow endemic species from the Atlantic Rainforest. The conservation status of this species was assessed as critically endangered according to IUCN criteria. This species resembles to B. catharinensis and B. hirtella in some characteristics, differing among other features due the presence of adventitious vegetative buds on the adaxial surface of the leaves.

Dienerella (Dienerella) katarzynae sp. nov. from Kazakhstan is described. The generic characteristics and diagnostics, including the aedeagus, are illustrated. A key to the subgenus Dienerella, a group of similar species including D. beloni, D. pilifera and D. elegans, is given, and an updated global checklist of Dienerella species is provided. To date, 41 taxa in the genus Dienerella (19 species in the subgenus Cartoderema and 22 species in the subgenus Dienerella) have been described globally. In this paper, we summarize the distribution and endemism of Dienerella species worldwide: currently, 15 endemic species from the genus Dienerella (5 species in the subgenus Cartoderema and 10 species in the subgenus Dienerella) are known.

Ophiorrhiza hoanglienensis, a new species from Hoang Lien mountain range, north-western Vietnam, is described and illustrated. The new species is characterized by oblong-lanceolate stipules, equal or subequal paired leaves, congested-cymose inflorescences with 5–10-flowered, distylous flowers, well-developed bracts, lanceolate, 15–20 mm long, unequally 5-lobed calyx with narrowly lanceolate lobes, longest one 3.2–3.5 mm long, shortest one 1.2–2 mm long, exclusively white corolla with 25–28 mm long tube and ovate to broadly triangular lobes, dorsally ribbed without horn. The information on ecology, conservation status, and comparison with similar species is also provided.

A new species of Calliandra (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae, tribe Ingeae) from a restricted locality of Campeche, Mexico is herein described and illustrated. The species appears to be closely related to C. molinae, a species from Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua, from which it may be distinguished by being allopatric, and by a more limited development of suberose bark in stems and branches, comparatively smaller leaflets, consistently glabrous leaflets and corollas, and by the scarcely villous pods. Calliandra mayana appears to be restricted to an extremely small seasonally flooded savannah surrounded by tropical deciduous forest and, based on IUCN criteria, it is provisionally considered Critically endangered.

A new species of Utricularia Section Orchidioides: Utricularia amotape-huancabambensis sp. nov. (Lentibulariaceae), endemic to Northern Peru is described and illustrated. It is known from two populations so far, both located in the Province Bongará, Dpto. Amazonas at ca. 2200 m altitude. The new species inhabits the páramo of the low white sandstone plateaus, an extension of the southern branches of the Condor mountain range in the southeastern part of the Amotape-Huancabamba phytogeographic zone. A diagnosis, description, etymology and an identification key covering the Andean and selected similar species of the section are presented. The distribution, habitat, ecology, associated flora, preliminary conservation status, an observed hybridization with sympatric U. unifolia and the affinities of the new species with other related taxa are discussed. The new species is known from two close-by populations in the same region and likely affected by anthropic pressure. Threatening changes in land use, resulting in habitat fragmentation or loss or changing water regimes in the course of climate change will have severe consequences for the sensitive páramo ecosystem and thus the populations of U. amotape-huancabambensis. Therefore, this new spectacular species of Utricularia is preliminarily considered Critically Endangered (CR).

Hedyotis dinganensis, a new species of the family Acanthaceae is described and illustrated from Hainan, China. It is most similar to H. yazhouensis and H. paridifolia, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the inflorescence terminal or upper axillary congested-cymose, capitate, or fasciculate, the calyx 7–8 mm long, the corolla tube ca. 8 mm, the stipules triangular to broadly triangular ca.10 mm long, marginally entire to glandular-serrate, acuminate or with 8–10 narrowly triangular to linear lobes or bristles 1–7 mm long, the stigmas exserted ca. 1.2 mm. The new species is accessed as as ‘Critically Endangered’ (CR) according to IUCN categories and criteria.
