    Abstract

    Primulina beiliuensis var. fimbribracteata F. Wen & B.D. Lai, a new variety of Gesneriaceae from a limestone cave in Shaoguan, Guangdong, China, is described and illustrated in this report. This new species is similar to P. beiliuensis B. Pan & S.X. Huang var. beiliuensis, but easily differs from the type variety in several morphological characters, both vegetative and reproductive.

    中文摘要

    本文報導了中國廣東苦苣苔科（Gesneriaceae）一個新變種––齒苞報春苣苔（Primulina beiliuensis B. Pan & S.X. Huang var. fimbribracteata F. Wen & B.D. Lai）。該變種與其原變種北流報春苣苔（P. beiliuensis B. Pan & S.X. Huang）相近，但本變種無論在營養器官或生殖器官方面都有諸多明顯的性狀可以易於使其與原變種相區別。
