AB -Vanoverberghia Merr. is formerly considered monotypic and endemic to the Philippines, but a new species, Vanoverberghia sasakiana H. Funak. & H. Ohashi is proposed here. The new species is distinguished from the other species, V. sepulchrei, by smaller habit with sessile leaves, translucent white bracts and smaller flowers without nectary. The new species was found at Lanyu Is., Taiwan, where is known for its rich flora containing many Philippine floristic elements. Description, illustration, and color photos of the new species are provided.
