Viola huizhouensis (Violaceae), a new species from Xiangtoushan National Nature Reserve of Guangdong Province in China, is described and illustrated. The new species is most similar to V. guangzhouensis, but it can be easily distinguished by its much stouter rhizome, lack of aerial stem, dense pubescence of the basal pedicel and the whole plant. Our phylogenetic analysis, based on ITS sequences, confirms that the new species belongs to V. sect. Diffusae.

Lespedeza danxiaensis (Fabaceae), a new species from Danxiashan National Nature Reserve in Guangdong Province, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to Lespedeza pilosa, but it can be easily distinguished by its thin leathery leaflets and long peduncles. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS confirmed that the new species belongs to Lespedeza subg. Macrolespedeza. The new species is the first known species of Lespedeza endemic to Danxia landform and is currently only known from Mount Danxia, Guangdong.

Geum sunhangii – first discovered in Shennongjia National Nature Reserve, Hubei Province, China – is described as a new species of Rosaceae. Compared to all known Chinese Geum species, the new species differs by possessing jointed styles, imbricate petals and a reniform radical leaf terminal leaflet. Most significantly, the jointed style is curved at an obtuse or a right angle. In addition, the inclusion of this species within the genus Geum was supported by phylogenetic analysis using the sequence data of a nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) and a chloroplast trnL–trnF intergenic spacer. The new species was found to be closely related to G. rivale and G. aleppicum.

Thirteen species belonging to seven genera of the tribe Nygmiini are recognized from Nanling National Nature Reserve, Guangdong province, China. A new species, Arna bicostata sp. nov., is described, and two species are transferred as new combinations: Artaxa angulata comb. nov. and Toxoproctis croceola comb. nov.. Adults and their genitalia are illustrated.

Xylaria fusispora, an undescribed species of Xylaria (Xylariales, Xylariaceae), is described and illustrated as a new species based on collections from Guizhou Province, China. Both morphology and phylogenetic analysis of nrDNA ITS sequences support the establishment of this new species. The fungus is characterized by its fusoid-equilateral ascospores and an ascus apical ring not bluing in Melzer’s reagent. The differences between the new species and the related fungi are discussed.

The myriapod fauna of China is still poorly known and very little attention has been paid to the study of Lithobiomorpha, with only 100 species and subspecies known from the country. Altogether, 11 species of subgenus Monotarsobius have been recorded from China, but only two of them have been reported from Hebei Province. Herein, a new species recently discovered in the Hebei Province, China, is described and illustrated. A new lithobiids species Lithobius (Monotarsobius) tetrasulcus sp. n. is described and illustrated from Hengshui Lake National Nature Reserve, Hebei Province, China. The new species is compared with Lithobius (Monotarsobius) crassipes Koch, 1862 from Taiwan, China. It can be easily distinguished from congeners by having a longitudinal groove on the dorsal side of the femur and tibia of the male legs 14 and 15, only having a posterior spine on the dorsal side of femur of legs 12–15, lacking robust spines lying dorsally on the external margin on the second article of the female gonopods and the third article of the female gonopods having a bidentate apical claw.

Five subfamilies, 11 genera and 77 species of Dryinidae are listed from Guangdong Province. Two new species, Anteonpteromaculatum Xu, Olmi, Guglielmino & Chen, sp. nov. and Dryinus nanlingensis Xu, Olmi, Guglielmino & Chen, sp.nov. are described from Nanling National Nature Reserve. New synonymies are proposed for Dryinus indicus (Kieffer,1914) (=Chlorodryinus koreanus Móczár, 1983, syn. nov.; Dryinus masneri Olmi, 2009, syn. nov.), Gonatopus nearcticus(Fenton, 1927) (=Acrodontochelys sinensis Olmi, 1984, syn. nov.). Ten species, Anteon atrum Olmi, 1998, A. silvicolumOlmi, 1984, A. viraktamathi Olmi, 1987, Deinodryinus asiaticus Olmi, 1984, Dryinus krombeini Ponomarenko, 1981,Neodryinus sumatranus Enderlein, 1907, Gonatopus malesiae (Olmi, 1984), Gonatopus validus (Olmi, 1984), G. plebeius(Perkins, 1912), and G. asiaticus (Olmi, 1984) are newly recorded from China. Anteon nanlingense Xu, Olmi & He, 2011is newly recorded from Indonesia. Twenty-seven species are newly recorded from Guangdong Province. Ten species, including new ones, are known from Guangdong Province only.

A new species of Craterium (C. subpurpurea) collected in the Changbai Mountain National Nature Reserve, Jilin Province, northeastern China, is described. The fruiting bodies of C. subpurpurea are long cylindrical with distinct ridges, with large spinulose spores (8–10 μm diam.) as well as a persistent purplish pale peridium at the base of the sporotheca. A newly described species, C. aureonuleatum, has been documented in China for the first time, based on material collected from the Shennongjia National Nature Reserve, Hubei Province and the Gexigou National Nature Reserve, Sichuan Province. Craterium aureonuleatum is characterized by a yellowish pseudocolumella at the apex of the sporocarp and a persistent cup-like peridium when mature. Descriptions and scanning electron micrographs for these members of the genus Craterium are provided.

A new species, Camellia psilocarpa (Theaceae), from Guangdong Province, China, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically most similar to C. magnocarpa, from which it differs by having ovate-oblong leaves with apex caudate or long acuminate, bracteoles and sepals 10-12, grayish white velutinous outside, and especially smaller fruit. The morphological evidence shows that the new species is a member of Camellia sect. Camellia. Additionally, a molecular and phylogenetic analysis using two chloroplast DNA markers also gave support to its taxonomic position.

Oreorchis yachangensis, a new species of Orchidaceae from Yachang Orchid National Nature Reserve, Guangxi, China, is described and illustrated. The new species most closely resembles Oreorchis patens in having samll flowers, yellow sepals and petals, both the petals and the lip with purple spots, but is distinguished from O. patens and the other species in Oreorchis by having lip oblong, mid-lobe 2-lobed. O. yachangensis is restricted to a wet valley in Yachang Orchid National Nature Reserve, southern China.
