While culturing the moss Didymodon tectorum (Pottiaceae) tissue, we came across an endophytic bacterium. Based on the 16S rRNA nucleotide sequence, it was identified to be Methylobacterium sp. strain B25a. This is the first Methylobacterium strain isolated from moss tissue culture.

Primula nghialoensis D.W.H. Rankin (Primulaceae) is reduced to the synonym of P. wenshanensis Chen & C.M. Hu. A new species, P. tsaiana G. Hao & Y. Xu, from southeastern Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated. It is similar to P. wenshanensis and P. petelotii, but can be distinguished from them by its distinct rhizome, leaf venation pattern, and shortly lacerated corolla lobes.

Prunus dinabandhuana J.N. Mekrini & Biseshwori sp. nova (Rosaceae) is described and illustrated from Mao Makhan, Manipur, NE India. The species is phylogenetically closest to P. fordiana, but morphologically resembles especially P. zippeliana, differing from it by having axillary racemes, mucronulate leaf apex, 22–27 stamens, cup-shaped hypanthium, and different phenology. Based on molecular data (ITS), P. dinabandhuana belongs in the Laurocerasus clade, and that placement is corroborated by morphological characters of the flowers and inflorescences.

Up to the late 1990s and early 2000s, several small-leaved species of Chenopodium (Amaranthaceae s. lato/Chenopodiaceae s. stricto) were frequently misnamed in floras of central Asia and Siberia. Two widespread taxa, C. prostratum (now accepted as C. karoi) and C. vulvaria, were commonly recognized. However, the latter is absent from Siberia and occurs only in the southwestern central Asia. Further north the name ‘vulvaria’ was misapplied to two species, C. pamiricum and C. grubovii Lomon. & Uotila sp. nova, characterized by procumbent stem branched mostly basally and entire, ovate leaf blade. Chenopodium pamiricum, distinguished by erect stem branched along the whole length and trilobate to entire, trullate leaf blade, was earlier often known by the synonymous name C. iljinii and misapplied to C. grubovii. They can be distinguished from C. vulvaria and C. karoi by their deeply divided perianth lobes and broadly ovate seeds; from each other they mostly differ in the growth habit and leaf characters. Chenopodium karoi is very widely distributed, from the Hindu Kush and the Himalayas to northern and northeastern Asia, C. pamiricum and C. grubovii occur on high mountains from the Hindu Kush, Pamir, and western Himalayas as far as southern Siberia, Mongolia, and central and western China, the latter species being more common in the north. Chenopodium grubovii grows at higher elevations than C. pamiricum and both species usually grow at higher elevations than C. karoi. A key, descriptions, drawings, and distribution maps for these species are provided.

Birches (Betula) are ecologically important plants in the Indian Himalayan Region, but they are still not fully understood from the taxonomic point of view. To provide a basis for taxonomic research, we present a taxonomic synopsis of Betula in India and an account of the material on which the names are based. Lectotypes are designated for the names B. acuminata Lindl. (synonym of B. alnoides Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don), B. cylindrostachya Wall. ex Lindl. and B. jacquemontii Spach.

Lycoris chunxiaoensis Q.Z. Li, Z.G. Li & Y.M. Cai (Amaryllidaceae), a new species from the town of Chunxiao in Zhejiang Province, China, is described and illustrated. It closely resembles L. radiata by having dark green leaves that appear in autumn and have a pale mid-vein on the upper surface, and stamens longer than perianth, but differs from it e.g. by having a larger bulb, longer and wider leaves, a longer peduncle, and larger tepals. Lycoris haywardii is also somewhat similar to L. chunxiaoensis, but the former has longer leaves and a shorter peduncle.
