Abstract
Two new species of Spiradiclis (Rubiaceae), Spiradiclis repens L. Wu & Yan Liu and S. reticulata L. Wu, Q Yuan & Jian‐Ling Li are described and illustrated here. Spiradiclis repens is morphologically similar to S. karstana in having a creeping habit, puberulent stems, elliptic to oblong leaves and slenderly salverform corolla, but differ by having less numerous flowers on linear stipules, terminal cymose inflorescences, peduncles 4.0–12.0 mm long, and corolla lilac or pale pink and glabrous inside. Spiradiclis reticulata is close to S. emeiensis and S. malipoensis in that their capsules are ellipsoid and slightly compressed from both sides, but the former can be distinguished from the latter two by having 2‐lobed stipules, monostylous flowers and slenderly cylindrical corollas.
