Primulina malipoensis (Gesneriaceae), a new species from Sino-Vietnamese border area

Abstract

Primulina malipoensis, a new species from limestone areas around the Sino-Vietnamese border, is described and illustrated. This new species is morphologically similar to P. maguanensis and P. lungzhouensis, but obviously differs from the latter two species by its pale greenish-yellow flowers (vs. purple, with different colour patterns). The phylogenetic affinity, illustration and photographs of this new species are provided in this paper.

Primulina scutellifolia, a new species of Gesneriaceae from southern Vietnam

“…Since then, three other new species ( P. elegans B. M. Wang, Y. H. Tong & N. H. Xia; P. malipoensis L.H. Yang & M. Kang; P. xuansonensis W.H.Chen & Y.M.Shui) have been described from northern Vietnam ( Yang et al 2018 ; Chen et al 2020 ; Tong et al 2020 ). Therefore, prior to this paper, the total number of Primulina species known in Vietnam is 23.…”
