Oreocharis yunnanensis, a new name for the illegitimate Oreocharis glandulosa (Gesneriaceae) from China
Phytotaxa 163 (3): 180–180.
Tan et al. (2013) described a new species in Oreocharis from southern Yunnan, China, which they named O. glandulosa Y.H.Tan & J.W.Li (in Tan et al. 2013: 30). This name is invalid because it is a later homonym of O. glandulosa (Batalin) Mich.Möller & A.Weber. Because the name of Tan et al. (2013) is illegitimate (in accordance with Article 53.1 of the ICN (McNeill et al. 2012), a new name is proposed here for this species: Oreocharis yunnanensis Rossini & J.Freitas, nom. nov.

No. 2  Yong-Li Zheng & Yun-Fei Deng: A new species of Primulina (Gesneriaceae) from Guangdong, China
Phytotaxa 163 (1): 048–053.
ABSTRACTA new species of Gesneriaceace, Primulina yangchunensis, is described and illustrated from China. The species is related to P. orthandra, but it can be easily distinguished by its leaf blade base cuneate, margin entire and rugose, both surfaces hispid, longer bracts broadly lanceolate, 1–2 cm long, and the length of the abaxial lip obviously longer than that of the adaxial one. The conservation status of this new species was assessed as “Critically Endangered” (CR) according to IUCN Red List Category and Criteria.

ABSTRACT

Hemiboea malipoensis, a new species of Gesneriaceae from southeastern Yunnan, China, is here described and illustrated. Based on morphological and molecular evidence, it was found to be similar to H. magnibracteata and H. cavaleriei var. paucinervis by conspicuous involucre and anthers fused by entire adaxial surfaces, but can be easily distinguished from the latter two species by its manificat spherical involucre, 3.5–4.5 cm in diameter, cymes with 4–10 flowers, corolla larger, 4.5–5.5 cm long, pale yellow-yellow, corolla tube glabrous, Calyx lanceolate, 5-parted from the base.
