Abstract
A new species of Primulaceae, Primula wawushanica G. Hao, C. M. Hu & Y. Xu, from Sichuan, China, is described and illustrated. In general morphology it is clearly allied to P. sect. Petiolares subsect. Davidii, characterized by firmly papery or leathery leaves, with adaxially impressed veins which are often prominently raised and alveolate abaxially. However, from other species of this subsection, P. wawushanica is distinguished by its glabrous and sessile leaves, smaller flowers, and by the shorter scape at flowering time.
