Mitreola liuyanii, a new species from Guizhou Province, China, are described and illustrated in this study. Morphologically, it is most similar to M. pingtaoi but can be distinguished from the latter in the characteristics of leaves arranged in a basal rosette or clustered at the stem or branch apex, shorter stem internodes and petioles, smaller narrowly oblanceolate leaf blades with ciliate margin, narrowly lanceolate bracts and glabrous capsules.

A new species of Isotrema was recently discovered from Guizhou, China and is here named as I. brevilimbum. It is most similar to I. ovatifolium and I. wardianum, but differs in the morphology of leaves and flowers. A detailed description for the new species, along with line drawings, photographs, as well as morphological comparisons with similar species, are provided. In addition, the distribution of I. wardianum in China is here confirmed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
