Abstract

Primulina adenopoda (Gesneriaceae) is described and illustrated here. This new species resembles P. yangshanensis W.B.Xu & B.Pan and P. depressa (Hook.f.) Mich.Möller & A.Weber in leaf blade shape, corolla tube shape, and corolla color; phylogenetic analysis shows it is closely related them too, but it is distinct from them by indumentum characters, bracts number, corolla tube size, and placenta type. The conservation status of P. adenopoda is assessed as "Near Threatened" (NT) according to IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.
