Begonia, belonging to the family Begoniaceae, is one of the largest Angiosperm genera with a pan-tropical distribution. Northeastern India shows a high degree of endemism with several endemic species described from the region. Begonia dicressine, so far known from Myanmar, has been recorded for the first time in India from Changlang district of Aru...

An updated list of the species of Gaultheria (Ericaceae) from Myanmar is presented, with additions and corrections to a previously published list. Gaultheria natmataungensis, a new species from Natma Taung National Park, Chin State, Myanmar, is described and illustrated. It is the only species of Gaultheria endemic to the country. Additionally, G. griffithiana var. insignis is raised to the rank of species (G. insignis), and G. insignis and G. suborbicularis are newly recorded for Myanmar. Photographs of living plants of G. insignis are included, along with an updated description and illustration that incorporate new morphological data, including the first documentation of floral characters. Lectotypes are provided for G. fragrantissima, G. insignis, and G. nummularioides. A key to the species is provided. The number of Gaultheria species recorded from Myanmar is 24.
... The area is an important reservoir of plant and animal biodiversity. High plant species endemism and a number of different forest communities are outstanding features of the NTNP (Kingdon-Ward 1958; Kang et al. 2017). A first survey on the animal biodiversity was published by Woo Shin Lee et al. (2016) which contains chapters on conspicuous species of selected insect groups (Lepidoptera, Odonata, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera). ...
During several excursions to the Chin Hills of Myanmar from 2001 to 2015, rich collections of caddisflies were made which form the basis of the present taxonomic and biogeographic study. A total of 106 species were identified including seven new species. They are described as Arctopsyche subflava sp. nov. , Hydromanicus abdominalis sp. nov. , Cheumatopsyche janosolahi sp. nov. , Lepidostoma subpanaitos sp. nov. , Aplatyphylax pumilus sp. nov. , Adicella natmataungensis sp. nov. and Triaenodes mindatensis sp. nov.
Illustrations of the male genitalia and images of the adults are provided. Two species names were recognised as junior synonyms: Hydropsyche athamas Malicky & Chantaramongkol, 2000, = Hydropsyche januha Oláh & Barnard, 2008, syn. nov. ; Hydropsyche khasigiri Oláh & Barnard, 2008, = Hydropsyche kiogupa Oláh & Schefter, 2008, syn. nov.
In an attempt to determine the biogeographic character of the fauna, the known ranges of all resident species were plotted into three longitudinal transects from 85°–95°E, 95–98°E and 98°–108°E, ranging from the eastern Himalayas to northern Vietnam. About half of the species have ranges extending over all three transects. The fauna is equally composed of western and eastern species qualifying the Chin Hills as part of a transition zone including palearctic elements. Most of the species, which are widely distributed in south-east Asia, are members of the suborder Annulipalpia. The investigations of the authors yielded 77 autochthonous species, which have been unrecorded from the country including the newly-described taxa. This brings the number of species records from Mynamar to 304.
... Both of these projects are ongoing and aim to produce specimen-based species checklists of the protected areas.The Korean National Institute of Biological Resources has been collaborating with the Myanmar Forest Department since 2011, including biodiversity inventories in Natma Taung National Park and southern Shan State. As a result, many new records of vascular plants for Myanmar have been reported(Kang et al., 2017a(Kang et al., , 2018, and Seed Plants of Natma Taung National Park was published(Kang et al., 2017b), in which 600 species in 120 families were illustrated.Since2014the Chinese Academy of Science, led by Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, has been carrying out fieldwork in Hkakaborazi National Park and Hponganrazi Wildlife Sanctuary, and a number of new species have been described based on their collections. The National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo and the Myanmar Forest Department, began a new botanical inventory project in 2016 in order to contribute to the Flora of Myanmar. ...
Southeast Asia (Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Timor Leste, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea) is a region of high plant diversity with an estimated 50,000 flowering plant species. Estimates of plant diversity in the region continue to grow as large numbers of new species are described even though there have been suggestions that there are few new species to be
... Massive anthropogenic habitat modifications, forest fires, and the overexploitation of wildlife in Southeast Asia are clear-and-present dangers to its biodiversity (Sodhi et al., 2004). Myanmar (Burma) vegetation spans tropical evergreen, mixed deciduous, savanna and alpine types, supporting a wealth of plant diversity that constitutes a significant component of the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot (Tanaka, 2005;Kang et al., 2017). ...
In this study, we describe several new taxa belonging to the flora of Myanmar. One new family, Polyosmaceae (Polyosma wallichii Benn.) is recorded. Over ten new genera are recorded for the first time, including Amentotaxus Pilger (Taxaceae), Hydrobryopsis Engler (Podostemaceae), Cyrtosia Blume and Biermannia King & Pantling (Orchidaceae), Eleutharrhena Forman and Haematocarpus Miers (Menispermaceae), Craigia W.W. Smith & W.E. Evans (Malvaceae), Amblyanthopsis Mez (Primulaceae), Huodendron Rehder and Rehderodendron Hu (Styracaceae), Platea Blume (Metteniusaceae), Achyrospermum Blume (Lamiaceae), Christisonia Gardner (Orobanchaceae). In addition, five new species are described and illustrated: Tupistra natmataungensis Y.H. Tan & H.B. Ding, Biermannia burmanica Y.H. Tan & Bin Yang, Impatiens megacalyx Y.H. Tan & H.B. Ding, Amblyanthopsis burmanica Y.H. Tan & H.B. Ding, Platea kachinensis Y.H. Tan & H.B. Ding. The distribution, ecology, phenology, and conservation status of these new species are also described.
