Abstract:

 Cyclorhiza,  a new genus based upon Ligusticum waltonii Wolff, is here proposed. From
the ample materials now in our herbarium, we found that the genus differs from  the species
of Ligusticum. As the result of our study, the systematic position of  this new  genus  should
be considered as a member of the tribe Smyrnieae Koch.
      Chuanminshen, another new monotypic genus, is here also proposed. It was often considered
as not different from Changium Wolff, but it is a cleary deliminated natural genus being quite
remote from Changium Wolff. This new genus is quite reasonably to be placed in  the tribe
Peucedaneae.
