Abstract: The paper presents new records for 20 vascular plant species from 13 Eurasian countries. Four taxa (Calamagrostis sichuanensis, Klasea dissecta, Ptilagrostis milleri and Stipa klimesii) are reported from China, four (Aconogonon valerii, Carex siderosticta, Poa tanfiljewii and Potamogeton × subobtusus) from Russia, three (Amorpha fruticosa, acanthoides and Plantago minuta) from Tajikistan, two (Achillea sergievskiana and Delphinium barlykense) from Kazakhstan, one (Calamagrostis effusiflora) from Bhutan and India, one (Campanula wolgensis) from Mongolia, one (Orobanche coerulescens) from Georgia, two (Dysphania geoffreyi and Ptilagrostis milleri) from Nepal, one (Stipa × alaica) from Afghanistan, one (Stipa × manrakica) from Kyrgyzstan, one (Ranunculus × gluckii) from Poland and one (Sporobolus cryptandrus) from . Four of the taxa presented (Amorpha fruticosa, Carduus acanthoides, Carex siderosticta and Sporolobus cryptandrus) are regarded as alien to the studied areas, whereas the remaining 16 are native elements to the flora of the countries. For each species synonyms, general distribution, habitat preferences, taxonomy with remarks on recognition and differentiation of the species from the most similar taxa occurring in a given country, as well as a list of recorded localities (often far from the previously known areas) are presented. Based on the spikelet morphology, we have proposed in Ptilagrostis a new section Barkworthia M. Nobis, A. Nobis & A. Nowak, which comprises two species Ptilagrostis yadongensis and Ptilagrostris milleri, with distinctly unequal glumes, lemmas and paleas.

Introduction The paper is the continuation of the previous works vascular plant species from 13 Eurasian countries, dedicated to new national and regional vascular plant namely Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, Georgia, India, records (Nobis, Ebel et al. 2014; Nobis, Nowak, Nobis Italy, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Nepal, et al. 2014; Nobis, Nowak et al. 2015). Although, it Poland, Russia and Tajikistan. Four of the taxa might seem that the distribution of vascular plants in presented here are regarded as alien to the studied Eurasia is sufficiently recognized, there are still many areas, whereas the other 16 are native elements to the regions where new plant species are encountered. flora of the countries. During field exploration across the vast area of European and Asian countries as well as during taxonomic revisions of herbaria materials of different New records for Asian countries groups of vascular plants, the authors found some Achillea sergievskiana Schaulo & Schmakov species that are new to the floras of particular countries () or to significant regions (provinces or republics). The Contributors – Andrey N. Kupriyanov, Yury A. aim of this paper is to report new records for 20 Kotukhov, Aleksandr L. Ebel
