ABSTRACT

Primulina zixingensis L.H. Yang & B. Pan (Gesneriaceae), a new species from a limestone area in southeastern Hunan, China, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to P. jiangyongensis due to its yellow flower with a network of dark redstripes on the abaxial lip. The morphological differences between P. zixingensis andthe latter species are discussed.
