Guihaia heterosquama X. Y. Li, a new species from Chongqing, China, is described and illustrated. Guihaia heterosquama is similar to G. grossifibrosa and G. argyrata both in the shape of the leaf blade and flower structure, but it can be easily distinguished by its leaf scales, leaf sheath fibers and hastula. Notably, Guihaia heterosquama differs from all the reported species of Guihaia by the presence of a distinct pistillode in the male flower.

A new species of Maranta subg. Maranta, M. gigantea, is described and illustrated. This is known from the submontane Atlantic Forest in the states of Pernambuco and Alagoas (Brazil). Based on the zingiberoid growth form it is morphologically similar to M. anderssoniana and M. zingiberina, differing mainly in the shape of the leaf blade (lanceolate to oblong or ovate respectively vs. narrow-lanceolate) and number of calli in the callose staminode (one prominent callus vs. two prominent calli). It is further differentiated from M. anderssoniana by being larger plants (up to 1.8 m tall vs. up to 1.0 m tall), with a tomentose leaf sheath (vs. sericeous), larger corolla tube length (9−12 mm long vs. 5−6 mm long), asymmetrically elliptical corolla lobes (vs. asymmetrically oblong) and larger outer staminodes (minor 12−15 × 6.5−8 mm vs. 10−11 × 5.5−6 mm and major 13−16 × 8.5 × 10.5 mm vs. 10−12 × 8−9.2 mm). Due to its narrow distribution, it is classified as critically endangered.

Tripogon uma-ganeshii, a new species of Poaceae from the Horsley hills of Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, India, is described and illustrated. The new species is allied to Tripogon tirumalae Chorghe et al., and T. trifidus Munro ex Stapf, in having 2-lobed lemma and median awn longer than the lemma length; but differs from Tripogon tirumalae, in length of leaf blades and spikes, number of florets in spikelets, size of the glumes, lemmas and paleas. It differs from Tripogon trifidus, in height of the culms, nature of leaf sheath, length of leaf blades, number of florets in spikelets and size of the glumes.

Primulina rubribracteata Z.L. Ning & M. Kang, a new species of Gesneriaceae from southern Hunan, China, is described and illustrated. The new species morphologically resembles P. polycephala (Chun) Mich. Möller & A. Weber and P. porphyria X.L. Yu & Ming Li, but it can be easily distinguished by having ovate or broadly ovate leaf blade, purple red bracts and calyx, shorter peduncle and pedicel, thoroughly purple corolla, unbranched cymes with 1–4 flowers, and densely glandular pubescent inside corolla lobes.

Ainsliaea simplicissima M. J. Zhang & H.-Q. Li, sp. nov., a new species (tribe Mutiseiae, Asteraceae) from Fujian, China, is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular analyses. It can be distinguished by leaves situated in a basal rosette or aggregated at the lower part of the short stem, leaf blade narrowly elliptic or lanceolate, thick papyraceous, and capitulum bearing only one flower. The new species is morphologically similar to A. trinervis and molecularly sister to A. fragrans, both distributed nearby.

Chrysanthemum bizarre (Asteraceae), a new species from Hunan Province, China, is described and illustrated. It is similar to Chrysanthemum vestitum in that its leaves are pubescent, and the ray florets are white. However, it differs from C. vestitum in that the abaxial pubescence of C. bizarre (6.5%) is much more sparsely appressed than that of C. vestitum (64.9%). The leaf blade is triangular ovate with its base extending downward on both sides of petiole to form wings. Only one capitulum, of which the outmost phyllaries are leaflike, develops at the tip of every flowering scape rather than forming an unconsolidated cyme synflorescence. In addition, the lectotype of C. vestitum was designated in this study.
