L. Yu & Ming Li 2014	<div><p>Primulina jiangyongensis X. L. Yu &amp; Ming Li, sp. nov. (See Figure 1 and Figure 2).</p> <p>Diagnosis: —The new species is similar to P. lutea (Yan Liu &amp; Y. G. Wei) Mich. Möller &amp; A. Weber in having yellow flowers, but differs in both surfaces of leaves densely with appressed bristles (not with appressed pubescence), peduncle and bracts densely spreading villous (not only densely appressed pubescent), pedicel densely glandular-villous and pubescent (not densely glandular-pubescent), corolla lower lip with several dark purple stripes (not unmarked), filaments dark purple (not light yellow), and staminodes 3 (not 2).</p> <p>Type: — CHINA.

Capsule linear, 4–8 cm × 1–2 mm, densely glandular-vilolus and puberulent.</p> <p>Distribution:— The new species is only known from the type locality, Lanxi Yaozu Zizhixiang [25°06′00.26″N, 111°10′42.59″E], elevation ca. 281 m, Jiangyong Xian, southern Hunan, China.</p> <p>Ecology &amp; Habitat: —The new species grows in wet places or cracks in the rock in limestone areas, mainly in the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest at elevation of 260– 340 m. Its habitat is dominated by several trees, e.g. Cyclobalanopsis glauca, Radermachera sinica, Lagerstroemia subcostata, Acer coriaceifolium, Osmanthus fragrans, Boniodendron minus, Chukrasia tabularis, and some shrubs, e.g. Flueggea virosa, Sophora franchetiana, and a few herbaceous species as well, e.g. Pilea cavaleriei, Castilleja pallida.</p> <p>Phenology: —Flowering in May, fruiting from May to June.</p> <p>Etymology: —The name of this new species is derived from its locality, i.e. Jiangyong Xian, Hunan Province, China.</p> <p>IUCN Red List Category: — Primulina jiangyongensis is only found from its type locality, Lanxi Yaozu Zizhixiang [25°06′00.26″N, 111°10′42.59″E], elevation ca. 281 m, <a href="http://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=111.1785&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=25.100073" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 111.1785/lat 25.100073)">Jiangyong Xian</a>, southern Hunan, China. <a href="http://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=111.1785&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=25.100073" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 111.1785/lat 25.100073)">The</a> population is not in a protected area, nature reserve or park, and there is no any protective measures. <a href="http://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=111.1785&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=25.100073" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 111.1785/lat 25.100073)">Its</a> habitat is vulnerable and subject to the destruction from human activities. <a href="http://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=111.1785&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=25.100073" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 111.1785/lat 25.100073)">There</a> is only one population with about 100 individuals. <a href="http://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=111.1785&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=25.100073" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 111.1785/lat 25.100073)">Thus</a> according to the IUCN Red List Criteria (IUCN 2010), the new species should be acted as Critically Endangered (CR B2 a; C2 b) because of its limited populations and vulnerable habitat.</p> <p>Similar species: —Morphologically, Primulina jiangyongensis resembles P. lutea since both species are perennial herbs, with basal leaves, entire leaf blade margins, a pair of large bracts and yellow flowers. But it can be readily distinguished from P. lutea by its inconspicuous rhizomes, thickly leathery, broadly ovate leaves, both surfaces with densely appressed bristles, peduncle and bracts densely villous and pubescent, pedicel with dense glandular-pubescence, corolla with the lower lip entire having several dark purple stripes, and filaments dark purple, with sparse appressed puberulence. The contrasting characters between P. jiangyongensis and P. lutea are shown in Table 1.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A93223FF8EFFC9FF299B12FB3BFBE1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
