(Rubiaceae), a new species from Guangdong, China.

, a new Rubiaceae species from E'huangzhang Nature Reserve, Guangdong Province, China, is here described and illustrated. A morphological comparison between the new species and its putative relatives, , and , is presented. The new species is mostly similar to , but they can be distinguished from each other since presents solitary flower (vs.

Identification and development of microsatellite markers in (Hamamelidaceae).

Premise Of The Study: (Hamamelidaceae) is a Tertiary relict species endemic to southern China. Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed to reveal the genetic diversity of this species.

Methods And Results: The genome of was sequenced and de novo assembled into 642,351 contigs.

High ISSR variation in 14 surviving individuals of Euryodendron excelsum (Ternstroemiaceae) endemic to China.

Euryodendron excelsum is a critically endangered Ternstroemiaceae species endemic to southern China, with only 14 individuals surviving in Ba Jia Zhen of Yangchun, Guangdong Province. Intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to assess genetic variation and relationships among these individuals. Population genetic parameters were estimated by a Bayesian approach as well as conventional methods.
