A new species of Gesneriaceae, Paraboea guilinensis L. Xu & Y. G. Wei, is described from Guangxi, China. The new species is similar to P. crassifolia (Hemsl.) Burtt in its habit and leaf form, but differs by its leathery leaves, glabrous peduncles, pedicels and calyx, distinctly bilabiate corollas, and capsules not spirally twisted.
