Abstract
Aspidistra obtusata is described and illustrated as a new species from southern Vietnam. The new species resembles A. truongii, but differs in smaller diameter of perigone (12.6–14.9 mm vs 25–35 mm), shape of tepals (elliptic, obtuse vs triangular-ovate) and pistil (widely obconic vs mushroom-shaped). A molecular characterization of the new species (based on data of plastid psbA-trnH and nuclear 5S-NTS regions) is also given, and compared with the most similar congeners.
