, a new species from limestone areas around the Sino-Vietnamese border, is described and illustrated. This new species is morphologically similar to and , but obviously differs from the latter two species by its pale greenish-yellow flowers (vs. purple, with different colour patterns). The phylogenetic affinity, illustration and photographs of this new species are provided in this paper.

, , and (Sonerileae, Melastomataceae), three species occurring in Sino-Vietnamese limestone karst regions, are described as new. Molecular phylogenetic analyses and morphological divergence indicate that these species are well separated from their close relatives in , justifying their recognition as distinct species. is unique in its interveinal areas prominently bullate each with an apical seta, a character otherwise never recorded in the genus.

Elucidating the genetic background of threatened species is fundamental to their management and conservation, and investigating the demographic history of these species is helpful in the determination of the threats facing them. The woody species of the genus (Magnoliaceae) have high economic, scientific and ecological values. Although nearly half of all species have been evaluated as threatened, to date there has been no population genetic study employing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology in this genus.

Transboundary conservation is playing an increasingly important role in maintaining ecosystem integrity and halting biodiversity loss caused by anthropogenic activities. However, lack of information on species distributions in transboundary regions and understanding of the threats in these areas impairs conservation. We developed a spatial conservation plan for the transboundary areas between Yunnan province, southwestern China, and neighboring Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam in the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot.

Two new species of potamid crabs, and are described from the Sino-Burmese border, southwestern Yunnan and from the Sino-Vietnamese border, southeastern Yunnan, China. The two new species can be distinguished from their closest congeners by several characters, among which is the form of the first gonopod structures. Molecular analyses based on partial mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequences also support the systematic status of these new taxa.
