Article Abstract

, a new species of Gesneriaceae in a sclerophyllous oak community from Yunnan, Southwest China, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, it resembles both and , while it is distinct in combined characters of wrinkled leaves, peduncle and pedicel covered with whitish and egladular villous hairs, bract lanceolate and nearly glabrescent adaxially, and staminode absent. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and chloroplast DNA fragment () of 61 congeneric species also supported as a new species while it was nested with . It was currently assessed as 'Critically Endangered' (CR) regarding to its small-sized population and narrow distribution following the IUCN categories and criteria.

Guizhou Province is one of the most important karst regions of southwest China, with 22 Primulina species. These species are highly habitat-specialized and dependent on the soils of the karst region, and many inter-species classifications are unclear. Therefore, studying the chloroplast genomes and estimating the divergence times of there species can not only provide a better understanding of interspecific relationships but also help to know the species speciation and divergence in the karst environment.
