Abstract
Two new species, Aspidistra synpetala and A. pulchella, from the limestone areas in Guangxi, southern China, are described and illustrated. A. synpetala is similar to A. longganaensis in the shape of the flower, but differs by the papyraceous leaves, secondary veins prominently, the perigone subsphaeroidal, lobes basally with explanate, connect, white appendage; stigma upper surface purple, slightly convex. A. pulchella resembles to A. guangxiensis, but mainly differs by the perigone tube depressed urceolate, stigma disc-shaped, ca. 20 mm in diameter, 5–6 mm thick, the central part slightly convex with 5 (or 4) radial, purplish red, bifurcate stripes.
