    The germination of seeds of 10 species of Cymbidium (native of Yunnan Province) was studied. The 10 species include cpiphytic, semi-epiphytic and terrestrial species. The sceds of epiphytic and semi-epiphytic species are easy to germinate and sensitive to hormone treatment. The combination of NAA and BA promotes the bud formation of the protocorms. Whereas the seeds of terrestrial species are difficult to germinate and must be treated first with some chemicals, such as 0.1 N NaOH or 1.5% H,O, or cut with a pair of scissors. Under the influence of hormone and seed treatment, the percentage of seed germination of certain terrcstrial species amounts to 40%.

    The present paper deals with the karyotypes of Pinus yunnanensis Franch. and P. kesiya var. langbianensis (A.Chev.) Gaussen. The chromosomes of them are 2n=24, which all belong to metacentric one. There are three pairs of chromosomes (No. 2, 5, 8) with secondary constriction in P. yunnanensis Franch., and only one (No. 3) in P.kesiya var. langbianensis (A. Chev.) Gaussen and its first pair of chromosomes are heterozygous. The karyotype of P.kesiya var. langbianensis (A. Chev.) Gaussen is not as regular as that of P. yunnanensis Franch. By the comparison between their karyotypes, it is shown that the relationship between both of them is not close and P. kesiya var. langbianensis (A. chev) Gaussen is more advanced than P. yunnanensis Franch. in the evolution.

    In the embryo of Gastrodia elata Bl., the richer fat, cytoplasmic protein and trace basic protein were found, and also visible activities of peroxidase, esterase and ATPase were detected, when the sprout. While the vegetative growth, richer protein were found in the apical meristem, leaf primordium, parenchyma cells of vascular bundle, exodermis cells and great cells. The distribution of protein was contrary to the distribution of storage polysaccharide. The content of basic protein and fat was not notable.

    This paper present a species of extraneous weed that is native tO the Andes of the south America. Now, it has become the wide distribution in low altitude region of the southern Yunnan. According to data and investigation, we know that Eupatorium odoratum has extended from thailand through Burma to the southern Yunnan since 1930. Moreover, in these areas it can be set foot, the wide-spread, naturalized, and often formed a secondary consociation, has directly connection with temperature.

    The genus Cordyceps has been variously divided into different subgenera, according to E. B. Mains (1958), the following subdivisions of the genus that the authors are supplemented and provided in this paper. They are Subgenus Racemella, Subg. Cordyceps, Subg. Cryptocordyceps and Subg. Ophiocor- dyceps. Cordyceps liangshanensis Zang, Liu et Hu, sp. nov. is described as new Subgenus Racemella from Sichuan, China. It is assigned to the distribution area of this species is known only from Taliang Mountain and Chinsha River valley. The hosts of this species are usually attached to the substratum by mycelium which spreads out, forming thin yellowish or brownish crusts.

    Labiatae is a cosmopolitan bigger family. It contains about 221 genera (among them 63 genera are monotypic) and about 6,000 species. Most genera distributed in old World, and only 40 genera are endemic to New World. Widely distributed genera are Teucrium, Scutellaria, Prunella, Stachys, Salvia, Micromeria and Ocimum. There are 13 genera having more than 100 species, e. g. Salvia (700-1050 species), Hyptis (350-400), Thymus(300- 400), Scutellaria (300), Stachys (c. 300), Nepeta (250), Teucrium (100-300), Pogostemon (140-160), Plectranthus s.str. (c.200), Rabdosia(150), Micromeria (130), Ocimum (l00-150), and Phlomis (c.100). Many of the widely distributed and bigger genera mainly concentrated in Mediterrancan Region and Near East to Central Asia.
