(Lactucinae, Cichorieae, Asteraceae), a new species from North-central Yunnan, China.

In this paper, we describe a new species, , from Mt. Jiaozi Xueshan located in North-central Yunnan, China. Despite its morphological similarities to , exhibits distinct differences in leaf texture, shape of terminal lobes, indumentum of leaves, peduncles, and involucres, as well as the length of the achenes.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of and comparative genomics of related species in the family Ericaeae.

Hemsley et Wilson, 1907, a typical member of the family Ericaeae, possesses valuable medicinal and horticultural properties. In this research, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of was sequenced and assembled, which proved to be a typical quadripartite structure with the length of 203,480 bp. In particular, the lengths of the large single copy region (LSC), small single copy region (SSC), and inverted repeat regions (IR) were 113,715 bp, 7,953 bp, and 40,918 bp, respectively.

 Winnertz species from Hunan Province, Oriental China, delineated with morphological and 16S rDNA data (Diptera, Chironomidae).

The genus Winnertz, 1846 from Hunan Province in Oriental China is reviewed. Four new species, Fu , Fu , Fu , and Fu are described and illustrated based on adult males. Sequence data from the 16S rDNA gene were used to infer relationships between these species and complement morphological delineation.
