A Coprinellus specimen collected in Islamabad, Pakistan, showed characters that were distinct from those of all other Coprinellus spp.: an ovoid shaped pileus; a caespitose stipe base; utriform cheilocystidia bearing crystals; a pileipellis of loosely arranged clavate to mucronate hyphae; and basidiospores (9.5–11.6 × 6.0–7.8 × 5.6–6.2 μm) with shapes ranging from mitriform or triangular to ellipsoid in face view, amygdaliform to ellipsoid in side view. Combination of all these characters and molecular analysis of ITS sequences support its identification as a new species.

A new poroid fungus, Nigrofomes submelanoporus, from tropical China, is described and illustrated based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis. The new species is characterized by perennial, resupinate to effused-reflexed, woody-hard and dark gray to almost black basidiocarps, lacerate dissepiments, a monomitic hyphal system, the presence of cystidioles and hyphal pegs, and broadly ellipsoid basidiospores (4–5.1 × 3.1–4.3 µm). Molecular analysis based on ITS sequences demonstrates the phylogenetic position of the new species in Nigrofomes. The discriminating characteristics between the new species and closely related species are discussed.

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.

A new species in Megasporaceae, Aspiciliella pakistanica is described and illustrated from Pakistan. A comparative morpho–anatomical study and ITS–based molecular analysis confirmed its position within the recently resurrected genus Aspiciliella. The taxon is characterized by whitish–grey thalli having large and thick areoles without pale lines on the surface, and a discontinuous algal layer arranged in groups of vertical rows. Its positioning in a separate branch in the phylogenetic tree also makes it distinct from the other known species of the genus.

A new species, Dichoropetalum viarium (Apiaceae), is described from the Lorestan Province, Western Iran. The new species differs from D. paucijugum, D. aromaticum, and D. chryseum in the height, shape, diameter, and branching of the stem, shape of the terminal leaf lobes, shape of the bracteoles, shape and size of the mericarps, and shape of the stylopodium. In addition, D. viarium is recognized as a separate species by molecular analysis of nrITS.

A new species of Amaranthaceae, Alternanthera kanhae, is described and illustrated from the bank of Sabarmati estuary in the state of Gujarat of Peninsular India. The new species is closely allied with A. caracasana and A. pungens but differs in many attributes. The identity of the newly proposed species is confirmed by molecular analysis of three chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) regions viz., rbcL, psbA–trnH and trnL–trnF. The sequences showed that A. kanhae has an independent lineage to that of its sister clade.

Two taxa of Coprinellus from China are described on the basis of morphological features and phylogeny. Coprinellus pseudodisseminatus is described as a new species in Coprinellus section Setulosi due to its milky-white to pale-grey pileus, lageniform caulocystidia, the presence of pileocystidia and cheilocystidia, and ellipsoid basidiospores. Coprinellus aureogranulatus, belonging to section Micacei, is new to China. Phylogenetic analyses based on ITS sequences by the Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian methods showed that C. pseudodisseminatus and C. aureogranulatus are a new and newly recorded species, respectively. Illustrations, photographs, and detailed descriptions of the two species are provided.

Two species of Xanthagaricus discovered in Hubei Province of China are described based on the macro- and micromorphological features. Their identity is further supported by molecular analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal RNA gene. The phylogeny obtained here showed that one of the Chinese species is nested in an exclusive clade which in combination with its striking morphological features, infers that it represents a new species, named X. ianthinus, while the other species is placed as a member in the X. epipastus clade. Descriptions are accompanied with illustrations of macro- and micromorphological characters and a discussion of related taxa is presented.

Anixiopsis biplanata sp.nov. is described as a new ascomycete isolated from soil at an altitude of 3100 m in Nepal. It is heterothallic and characterized by small, reddish brown ascospores (4 × 3 μm), which under the light microscope seem subrectangular to hexagonal in side view and appear smooth walled. Under the scanning electron microscope, however, they are tire shaped, ornamented with an equatorial reticulum and with two smooth, flat, lateral discs. Its anamorph is a Chrysosporium. Anixiopsis biplanata is briefly compared with the three other species already included in the genus Anixiopsis Hansen.

Primulina lianchengensis B.J.Ye & S.P.Chen (Gesneriaceae) is described and illustrated from Fujian Province in the Southeast of China. Then phylogenetic analyses of the genus were presented using nuclear ribosomal ITS and two plastid markers (atpB-rbcL and rpL32-trnL). Morphological analysis indicates that P. lianchengensis is similar to P. danxiaensis, P. depressa, P. lechangensis and P. yangshanensis, but it differs in the base and margin of leaf, petiole, bract, length and shape of corolla, numbers of staminodes and stigma lobe. Molecular analysis reveals that P. lianchengensis is genetically similar to P. danxiaensis and P. yangshanensis.
