The taxonomy of Cheilanthoid ferns is difficult due to morphological convergence， and there are only five species in Paragymnopteris， the taxonomy of this genus is still controversial with its members assigned to several different genera by different scholars. In this paper， the phylogenetic relationships between Paragymnopteris and other cheilanthoid fernsbased on the datasets of seven tandem chloroplast gene segments， the chloroplast genome， and the ribosomal DNA were investigated， respectively. The results showed that these three genera formed a well-supported monophyletic clade and constituted the pellaeoid group. The five species of Paragymnopteris formed two clades and each clustered with members of Pellaea. Based on the above results， this study suggested that the Pellaea should be redefined and incorporated with the Paragymnopteris into the same genus.

A species named Corydalis bulbilligera C.Y.Wu of sect. Elatae Fedde，from Shaanxi Province is newly recorded. Complementary description on the morphology， especially fruit characteristics， of C. nanwutaishanensis Z.Y.Su & Lidén and C. virginea Lidén & Z.Y.Su， which were endemic to Shaanxi province， was provided. The morphological comparison of the above mentioned three species was made， and the key table of species classification of sect. Elatae in Shaanxi Province was also compiled.

Primula lithophila was an early species published on plant specimens， and curremt literature of its phenological period and many biological characteristics were incorrectly described， which made it difficult to define the species. This study adopted methods such as field investigation， literature review， specimen collection， and morphological feature comparison in the type locality， the supplementary description of its phenological period and biological characteristics was provided. The results indicated that： the petioles of P. lithophila did not have wings， and color was pink with few white， scape 10-25 cm length， pedicel 15-30 mm length， corolla tube about 16 mm and limb diameter 10-15 mm respectively. Capsule tubular， about 3 mm long， approximately half long of the persistent calyx. The flowering period was from September to February， and the fruiting period was from March to June. In addition， two new recorded species： P. pelargoniifolia G.Hao， C.M.Hu & Z.Y.Liu and P. tardiflora（C.M.Hu） C.M.Hu， were reported.

In order to understand the history of plant specimen collection in the Middle East Railway area in the 20th Century， the collection history of plant specimens from Heilongjiang Provincial Museum was systematically sorted out through the digital informationization， and a large number of relevant documents were consulted and analyzed. A total of 3 659 numbered plant specimens collected along the Middle Eastern Railway were sorted out， including 1 500 species of plants in 137 families and 578 genera， 20 wild plants under national key protection. The main collectors include T. P. Gordeev， V. N. Jernakov， V. S. Pokrvsky， I. V. Kozlov from the former Soviet Union， and Liu De from China. The collection covered five provinces， most of which were collected from Heilongjiang Province and the eastern part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region， and a few were collected from Liaoning， Jilin and Hebei Province， 77.23% of the specimens were collected before 1949. Most families collected were Asteraceae， Poaceae and Rosaceae， accounted for 28.50% of the total plant specimens， and Artemisia， Salix， and Carex， accounted for 7.29% of the total plant specimens. Based the information， the current collated information might help to fill in the gaps in the history of plant collection in northeast China and provided reliable reference data for future research on plant classification， flora and phytogeography in northeast China and Inner Mongolia.

A variety of Rubus chrysobotrys Hand.-Mazz.（Rosaceae）， Rubus chrysobotrys Hand.-Mazz. var. glandulosus L.T.Lu， was described as new from southern Sichuan， China. The diagnostic differences between this new variety and Rubus chrysobotrys Hand.-Mazz. var. chrysobotrys and the key to varieties of Rubus chrysobotrys Hand.-Mazz. were given， and photos of vouchers were provided.

Based on field investigation and specimen identification in Gexigou National Nature Reserve， six families， seven genera， six species， one subspecies and one variety were identified as new records in Sichuan Province， viz. Populus wuana C. Wang et Tung（Salicaceae）， Lonicera spinosa Jacq. ex Walp.（Caprifoliaceae）， Rhododendron przewalskii Maxim.subsp. yushuense Fang et S.X.Wang（Ericaceae）， Ligularia confertiflora Chang（Asteraceae）， Rhodiola serrata H. Ohba（Crassulaceae）， Meconopsis racemosa var. spinulifera（L.H.Zhou） C.Y.Wu et H.Chuang（Papaveraceae）， Taraxacum luridum Hagl.（Asteraceae）， Taraxacum pseudoatratum Oraz.（Asteraceae）， voucher specimens（GAO20230301-08） were preserved in the herbarium of Yibin University.

Oreocharis parvifolia， a perennial herb in Gesneriaceae Rich. & Juss.， was originally collected by French missionary J.P.Cavalerie in Guizhou in 1908， and published as a new species by Pan Kaiyu in 1988. However， there was no further related collections records and images for the next 100 years. Based on literature and type sample research， combined with field investigation， the type origin of this species was confirmed in August 2022， the supplementary morphological was described， and color photos and distribution point information were provided.

Asplenium×akaishiense Otsuka， a new recorded species in China， was collected from Mount Taishan， Tai’an， Shandong Province， and the morphological characteristics of A.×akaishiense Otsuka was described. It was speculated that the plant might be a natural hybrid of A. ruprechtii Sa. Kurata and A. tenuicaule Hayata， for its morphology was between the two parents.

According to Article 9.2 of International Code of Nomenclature for algae， fungi， and plants（Shenzhen Code）， the typographical errors in the protologues of nine taxon names（Monocotyledoneae） in China were corrected， including Puccinellia degeensis L. Liu， P. multiflora L. Liou， Diuranthera inarticulata F. T. Wang & K. Y. Lang， Bulbophyllum colomaculosum Z. H. Tsi & S. C. Chen， B. sphaericum Z. H. Tsi & H. Li， Cypripedium sichuanense Perner， Oberonia delicata Z. H. Tsi & S. C. Chen， Phaius magniflorus Z. H. Tsi & S. C. Chen and Sarcoglyphis magnirostris Z. H. Tsi， the holotypes of these species were deposited at China National Herbarium（PE）， Institute of Botany， Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The correct scientific name is the only international name of a species， which could reduce ambiguity in communication， but it would cause confusion in research and production if it is used incorrectly. As a hotspot plant Family， there were some problems of changes in scientific names in Gesneriaceae. Since the publication of Stauranthera grandifolia Benth.， different forms of the epithet， grandifolia and grandiflora， were used in various literatures. By checking related literatures， this paper confirms that the correct epithet should be grandifolia according to the Articles of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae， Fungi， and Plants.

Three moss species， including Ctenidium malacodes， Ulota crispula and Ulota intermedia， were reported as new records and collected from Gongga Mt. in Sichuan， and all specimens were deposited in the Herbarium， Institute of Botany， Chinese Academy of Sciences（PE）. We provided detailed morphological descriptions and photos and discuss their main differences from neighboring species. The bryophyte diversity in Gongga Mt. area is very high， which is worthy of further investigation and research.

In order to explore the taxonomic composition of Paris fargesii Franch.， the morphological characteristics， phenological period， phytochemistry， molecular biology and geographical distribution of P. fargesii Franch. were compared and analyzed respectively. The results showed that there were five taxa， including P. fargesii var. fargesii， P. fargesii var. latipetala， P. fargesii var. brevipetalata， P. fargesii var. macrosepala and the black patch population. All of them differed in morphology， phenological period， steroidal saponins composition and ITS sequence， and had their own geographical distribution range. The phenological period and chemical composition of P. fargesii var. petiolata were closer to P. delavayi， and clustered into one branch in the ITS phylogenetic tree， and there was a transitional group between them. Therefore， P. fargesii var. petiolata should be removed from P. fargesii，as a variety of P. delavayi， which scientific name was P. delavayi var. petiolata. It was speculated that the infraspecific evolution order of P. fargesii was P. fargesii var. brevipetalata→P. fargesii var. latipetala→P. fargesii var. fargesii→P. fargesii var. macrosepala， black patch population.
