AB -<i>Ceropegia polytricha</i>, a new species from Yimen, Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated. The species is presently placed in <i>Ceropegia</i> sect. <i>Chionopegia</i>. Morphologically, it is similar to <i>C. dolichophylla</i> and <i>C. sinoerecta</i> in its tubular corolla with a trichome ring at the throat of the dilated part, narrowly triangular corolla lobes, and interstaminal lobes that form a shallow basal cup and are divided into pairs of narrowly triangular teeth at the apex, but clearly differs in its densely pilose stems and leaf blades, and longer corolla lobes. A comparison table of related species is provided.
