                 , in thick forests on the slopes of limestone hills, 23°07'N, 104°50'E, 1684 m a.s.l., 21 March 2022, Q. Fan 19220 (holotype: SYS; isotype: IBSC, SYS) (Figs 2, 3)  . 
            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The new species resembles  E. angustissima , but differs from the latter by its leaf shape and texture, the number of lateral veins and the indumentum of inflorescence. </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Evergreen trees, 15-25 m tall; stems 10-30 cm in diameter; branchlets grey-white, terete, glabrous, 4-8 mm in diameter. Leaves spirally inserted on branches and often crowded at tips of branchlets, margin sparsely serrate; petioles 1-1.5 cm long, glabrous; stipules linear-lanceolate, 10-12  × 1-2 mm, glabrous; leaf blades oblong or elliptic, 9-11  × 2.5-3.5 cm, thickly coriaceous, glabrous, mid-vein prominent, raised abaxially, lateral veins 10-17 pairs, sporadically dichotomous before terminating at margin, apex acute to acuminate, base cuneate, margin deflexed with sharply serrate. Inflorescence in terminal panicles, 17- to 30-flowered, 6.7-9.8  × 4-7.7 cm, with 4-7 lateral racemes, peduncle and pedicels densely rusty tomentose, pedicels 3-4 mm; bracts and bracteoles ovate-triangular, 2-4  × 8-10 mm, abaxially densely tomentose, adaxially glabrous; petals white, quincuncial, obovate-triangular or suborbicular, 9-10  × 6-8 mm, apex emarginate; stamens 20; filaments 5.3-8.1 mm long, glabrous; anthers 1.4-1.5 mm long; styles 6.2-9 mm long; ovary inferior; hypanthium shallow-cupular, 9-10  × 6-8 mm, abaxially densely rusty tomentose, 5-lobed, the calyx lobes triangular-ovate, 9-10  × 5-6 mm, abaxially densely rusty tomentose; ovary 2-4-loculed, with 2 ovules per locule; styles 2-4, mostly 3, densely yellowish villous in the lower part, connate at base or fused at one fourth of the base; fruits elliptoid or subglobose, 6-7  × 7-9 mm, glabrescent, capsules crowned by five persistent calyx lobes; seeds 2-3 per fruit. </p>
            <p>Phenology.</p>
            <p>Flowering from March to April, fruiting from June to August.</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>Latin crassus, thick, and folia, leaved, alluding to leaf thickness</p>
            <p>Distribution and habitat.</p>
            <p> Presently,  Eriobotrya crassifolia is known from a single locality, Laoshan Natural Reserve, Malipo County, south-eastern Yunnan Province, China. It is distributed in thick forests on the slopes of limestone hills at altitudes of 1502-1684 m a.s.l. </p>
            <p>Conservation status.</p>
            <p>Only two populations were found with no more than 200 mature individuals. Thus, the species status could be considered as Endangered (EN; D), according to the IUCN Red List Criteria (IUCN Standards and Petitions Subcommittee 2022).</p>
