Abstract
Five new species of Primulina (Gesneriaceae) are described and illustrated here, namely P.purpureokylin F. Wen, Yi Huang & W. Chuen Chou, P.persica F. Wen, Yi Huang & W. Chuen Chou, P.cerina F. Wen, Yi Huang & W. Chuen Chou, P.niveolanosa F. Wen, S. Li & W. Chuen Chou and P.leiyyi F. Wen, Z.B. Xin & W. Chuen Chou. The characteristic traits of these species, together with photographs, detailed descriptions, notes on etymology, distribution, and habitat, as well as comparisons with morphologically similar species, are provided.
Highlights
The genus Primulina sensu lato, as a group, is representative of the rich diversity of Chinese Gesneriaceae
After reviewing the genus Primulina and collating the new taxa for about two years (2017–2018), we discovered that there were a total of 11 new taxa from Guangxi
We suspect that more new taxa of Primulina, and even Gesneriaceae, are still to be found here
