AB -Primulina yangmingshanensis F.Wen & K.Liu, a new species of Gesneriaceae from Hunan, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to P. latinervis (W.T.Wang) Mich.Möller & A.Weber, P. roseoalba (W.T.Wang) Mich.Möller & A.Weber and P. pseudoroseoalba Jian Li, F.Wen & L.J.Yan, but this novel taxon can be effectively distinguished from three morphologically convergent species on the basis of several shared diagnostic characters. Photographs and descriptions of the new species are provided below. According to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria, P. yangmingshanensis is preliminarily assessed as Vulnerable (VU D1+2).
