ABSTRACT

Primulina crassirhizoma F. Wen, Bo Zhao & Xin Hong, a new species from a limestone area along the boundary of Sino-Vietnam, is described and illustrated. It is similar to P. linearifolia and P. longgangensis in leaf and flower shape, but can be distinguished by extremely strong rhozime, with conspicuous internodes, leaf blade adaxial surface nitid, sparsely appressed strigose, lateral veins 6–8 on each side of midrib, calyx narrowly triangular to narrowly ovate, corolla pale purple to bluish purple, c. 3.5 cm long, tube nearly tubular, adaxial lip c. 6 mm, abaxial lip 8-9 mm, glabrous anthers and staminodes 3.

Primulina minor from the Daoxian county, Hunan province in China is described. Th is new species is similar to Primulina jingxiensis (Yan Liu, W. B. Xu & H. S. Gao) W. B. Xu & K. F. Chung and P. longzhouensis (B. Pan & W. H. Wu) W. B. Xu & K. F. Chung, but diff ers by its number of leaves (4 – 6), broadly ovate, orbicular-ovate or orbicular leaf blade, 2 – 4 cymes, short peduncle (1.8 – 2.0 cm long), white (or white with light purple tinge) corolla, small corolla (8 – 10 mm long), 3 staminoides of which the lateral ones are short (0.75 – 0.90 mm long) and adnate to 1.6 – 1.7 mm above the corolla base.
