Petrocosmea
qiruniae M.Q.Han, Li Bing Zhang & Yan Liu (Gesneriaceae), a
new species from Guizhou,China, is
described and illustrated. It is most similar to P. leiandra (W.T.Wang)
Z.J.Qiu in leaf blade shape and corolla type, especially in the colour of
corolla throat and spots, indumentum of the stamens and the anther and ovary
morphology. It was found on humid cliffs in an enormous limestone cave called
the Qingxu Cave. In addition, Petrocosmea
leiandra, based on P. martini H.Lév. var. leiandra W.T.Wang, originally published with very few descriptive
data, is supplemented with more morphological data and a revised
description.
