Taxonomy of some seed plants in East China was revised. Based on the morphological properties, Salix nankingensis C. Wang et S. L. Tung is a new synonym of S. chekiangensis Cheng. Type specimens and original literatures on S. atopantha C. K. Schneid. var. glabra K. S. Hao ex C. F. Fang et A. K. Skvortsov and S. chienii Cheng indicated that the former is the synonym of the latter. Ficus pumula L. var. awkeotsang (Makino) Corner is regarded as a new synonym of F. pumila L. var. ellipsoidea Cheng. Morphological properties of Euscaphis konishii Hayata and E. fukienensis Hsu is differed from those of E. japonica (Thunb.) Dippel, indicating that E. fukienensis is synonym of E. konishii Hayata, of which the species-rank should be restored. Scutellaria fujianensis Z. H. Chen, W.Y. Xie et X Z Chen is proposed for replacement name of S. adenotricha X. H. Guo et S. B. Zhou which was accidently named with the later homonym of S. adenotricha Boiss. et Heldr. ex Boiss. Cerasus campanulata (Maxim.) Masam. et S. Suzuki var. wuyiensis X. R. Wang, X. G. Yi et C. P. Xie is proposed to being species-rank, namely C. wuyiensis (X. R. Wang, X. G. Yi et C. P. Xie) Z. H.
