Abstract
Five new species of Primulina (Gesneriaceae) are described and illustrated here, namely P. purpureokylin F. Wen,Yi Huang & W. Chuen Chou, P. persica F. Wen, Yi Huang & W. Chuen Chou, P. cerina F. Wen, Yi Huang & W. Chuen Chou, P. niveolanosa F. Wen, S. Li & W. Chuen Chou and P. leiyyi F. Wen, Z.B. Xin & W. Chuen Chou. The characteristic traits of these species, together with photographs, detailed descriptions, notes on etymology, distribution, and habitat, as well as comparisons with morphologically similar species, are provided.
