107D78C5F5845AB8A76DBB0C8226BFD2.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from its special scutellate leaves.	en	Vu, Ngoc Long, Nguyen, Tran Quoc Trung, Tran, Gioi, Nguyen, Quoc Dat, Luu, Hong Truong (2021): Primulina scutellifolia, a new species of Gesneriaceae from southern Vietnam.

107D78C5F5845AB8A76DBB0C8226BFD2.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Primulina scutellifolia is currently only known from the type location. It grows scattered on humid fertile soils in the evergreen broadleaf forest at elevations of 1,450 to 1,950 m. Our surveys throughout forests of Khanh Hoa and Lam Dong Provinces, which have now been ongoing for more than ten years, confirm its distribution is confined to the eastern slopes of the Hon Giao Range. This is a locally endemic plant.	en	Vu, Ngoc Long, Nguyen, Tran Quoc Trung, Tran, Gioi, Nguyen, Quoc Dat, Luu, Hong Truong (2021): Primulina scutellifolia, a new species of Gesneriaceae from southern Vietnam.
