Sansevieria marachiensis, new species, is found in several locations in north-west Uganda not far from Arua city. The new species is distinguished by characters of both the leaves and the inflorescence. Because of the loss of habitat, it is largely restricted to rocky granite outcrops. It is considered threatened in the vulnerable category (VU).

Hohenbergia correia-araujoi Pereira & Moutinho is a member of the Bromeliaceae widely used in gardening, endemic to the Bahia state (Brazil), rarely collected since its description in 1980. Although the species is an ornamental bromeliad, the detailed occurrence range and its ecological and morphological traits are poorly known. In this paper, we present the rediscovery of natural populations of Hohenbergia correia-araujoi, adding information about its habitat, habit, plant shape, and presenting new morphological comparisons and geographical distribution of the species, as well photographs of living plants in the field.
