Abstract

Primulina lepingensis, a new species of Gesneriaceae from Jiangxi, China, is described and illustrated. It is similar to the phylogenetically related P. xiuningensis in the shape of the flowers, but differs in having thin, leathery leaf blades, oblanceolate bracts, a longer corolla, a corolla tube puberulent inside below stamens, sparsely glandular pubescent stamens, 3 staminodes (2 with capitate apex, 1 without enlarged apex) and a 3-lobed stigma.
