No. 1 Wei-Bin XU, Bo PAN, Yan LIU, Ching-I PENG and Kuo-Fang CHUNG: Two new species, Primulina multifida and P. pseudomollifolia (Gesneriaceae), from karst caves in Guangxi, China. —Botanical Studies 53: 165-175.

ABSTRACTPrimulina pseudomollifolia W.B. Xu & Yan Liu and P. multifida B. Pan & K.F. Chung from karst caves in Guangxi Zhuangzu Autonomous Region, China are described and illustrated as two new species. Their generic placement in the recently recircumscribed Primulina is supported by phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence nuclear ITS and chloroplast trnF-L intron spacer regions. Primulina pseudomollifolia is similar to P. mollifolia (D. Fang & W. T. Wang) J.M. Li & Y.Z. Wang in being densely pubescent on both blade surfaces, but differs in the base of its blades being cuneate to broadly cuneate, its 12-14 mm long white to pink corolla 8-9 mm long tubular corolla tube, 5-6 mm long filaments, 3 staminodes, and flowering from July to September. Primulina multifida resembles P. renifolia (D. Fang & D. H. Qin) J. M. Li & Y. Z. Wang, but differs in the blade margins being pinnatifid; its ovate to broadly ovate bracts, 3-4 × 1.5-2 mm, 5-7 mm long tubular corolla tube, 3-5 mm long filaments, 3 staminodes, linguiform stigma, and flowering from June to August.

ABSTRACTOreocharis dayaoshanioides Yan Liu & W. B. Xu, a new species of Gesneriaceae from Guangxi, China, is described and illustrated. This new species is most similar and closely related to Oreocharis cotinifolia (W. T. Wang) Mich. Möller & A. Weber (=Dayaoshania cotinifolia W.T. Wang), differing from the latter by the distinctly serrulate leaf margin, much branched cymes, smaller and numerous flowers with abaxial lipped-lobes being broadly ovate to orbicular-ovate, and a glabrous pistil. The new species is extremely rare, currently known only from one site in eastern Guangxi.

ABSTRACTHemiboea sinovietnamica W. B. Xu & X. Y. Zhuang, a new species of Gesneriaceae from a limestone area along the boundary of Sino-Vietnam, is described and illustrated.

ABSTRACT

Primulina fengshanensis Fang Wen & Yue Wang, a new species of Gesneriaceae from Guangxi, is described and illustrated. The new species is compared with the similar P. linearifolia and P. longgangensis, but differs e.g. by its fleshy leaves, apex of leaf blades ovate or rotund, and by two pairs bracts and pairwise opposite.

No. 10 ZHI-JING QIU, XIAO-LING WANG, ZHENG-YU LIU, JIAN-FEN YANG & SHOU-ZHOU ZHANG: Cytological and phylogenetic study of Petrocosmea hexiensis (Gesneriaceae), a new species from Chongqing, China. Phytotaxa 74: 30–38.

ABSTRACTA new species, Petrocosmea hexiensis, is described and illustrated from Hexi in the Nanchuan district of Chongqing, China. The new species is similar to Petrocosmea duclouxii, but differs mainly in having a longer corolla tube and ovaterhombic to rhombic leaves with truncated bases. Cytological and phylogenetic studies of the new species demonstrate that it has the same chromosome number as other species of Petrocosmea and that its closest relative is P. duclouxii.
