Abstract

Lycoris chunxiaoensis Q.Z. Li, Z.G. Li & Y.M. Cai (Amaryllidaceae), a new species from the town of Chunxiao in Zhejiang Province, China, is described and illustrated. It closely resembles L. radiata by having dark green leaves that appear in autumn and have a pale mid-vein on the upper surface, and stamens longer than perianth, but differs from it e.g. by having a larger bulb, longer and wider leaves, a longer peduncle, and larger tepals. Lycoris haywardii is also somewhat similar to L. chunxiaoensis, but the former has longer leaves and a shorter peduncle.
