Wei, a new species of Gesneriaceae from Guangxi, China LIU Yan WEI Yi-Gang TANG Sai-Chun (Guangxi Institute of Botany, Guangxi Zhuangzu Autonomous Region and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guilin 541006, China) Abstract A new species of Gesneriaceae, Chiritopsis lingchuanensis Yan Liu Y. G. Wei, which was found to grow in a karst cave in Lingchuan County, Guangxi, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is similar to C. bipinnatifida W. T. Wang in having cymes lax-flowered, the corolla white, distinctly 2-lipped, the posterior lip three times shorter than the anterior one, and the staminodes 3, but differs by having leaves undivided and stamens pubescent. The new species is also similar to C. repanda W. T. Wang in the leaf shape, but differs in its corolla indistinctly 2-lipped, the posterior lip subequal to the anterior one, stamens glabrous, and the staminodes 2. Key words Chiritopsis, Chiritopsis lingchuanensis Yan Liu Y. G.

Wei 。本种因聚伞花序花稀疏, 花冠白色, 明显二唇形, 上唇比下 唇短3倍以上, 退化雄蕊3而与羽裂小花苣苔C. bipinnatifida W. T. Wang相近, 区别在于前者叶不裂, 雄 蕊被短柔毛。本种在叶形上还与小花苣苔C. repanda W. T. Wang相近, 不同在于后者花冠不明显二唇形, 上下唇近等长, 雄蕊无毛, 退化雄蕊2 。灵川小花苣苔的分布范围狭窄, 目前仅见于一个岩溶洞穴的近 洞口段, 具明显的洞生习性。 关键词 小花苣苔属; 灵川小花苣苔; 苦苣苔科; 新种; 岩溶洞穴; 广西; 中国 作者在最近的广西岩溶洞穴植物考察中, 在灵川县的一个岩洞内采集到一
