Abstract
Primulina jiuyishanica K. Liu, D.C. Meng & Z.B. Xin, a new species of Gesneriaceae from Hunan, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to Primulina fimbrisepala (Hand.-Mazz.) Yin Z. Wang, but differs in its elliptic to broadly elliptic leaf blade with broadly cuneate base, peduncle densely pubescent with sparse glandular hairs, corolla throat with no purple spots inside, the yellow patch in the throat densely glandular-pubescent and pistil densely glandular-pubescent. Photographs and descriptions of the new species are provided below.
Highlights
Since the original monotypic genus Primulina was redefined in 2011 (Wang et al 2011; Weber et al 2011), many taxa new to science have been published by taxonomists and researchers, making it the largest genus of the Chinese Gesneriaceae
More new species will likely be discovered in the near future (Möller 2019)
197 species and 27 varieties of Primulina exist at present, including 183 species and 27 varieties recorded from China and 21 species recorded from Vietnam (Hộ 2000; Burtt 2002; Weber et al 2011; Möller et al 2016; IPNI 2020; Wen et al 2020)
Summary
A total of 9 new species and one variety of Primulina were published in 2019, including P. purpureokylin F. 197 species and 27 varieties of Primulina exist at present, including 183 species and 27 varieties recorded from China and 21 species recorded from Vietnam (Hộ 2000; Burtt 2002; Weber et al 2011; Möller et al 2016; IPNI 2020; Wen et al 2020).
