  We report twelve variables not previously detected in the globular cluster M5
(NGC 5904); one SX Phe and eleven semi-regular variables (SR). Their
identifications, equatorial coordinates, ephemerides, and light curves are
given. Furthermore, we have explored the light curves of a group of stars whose
variability has not been confirmed and that are marked as probable non-
variables in the CVSGC. Finally, we offer detailed identifications for some of
the known variables in crowded regions that were misidentified in previous
studies. We shall also address the cases of the cataclysmic variable or U Gem
type V101 and of the variable blue straggler V159.
