摘 要：? ?中越邊境的石灰?guī)r地區(qū)不僅具有較豐富的植物多樣性，而且特有現(xiàn)象十分突出。該文描述了中越邊境石灰?guī)r地區(qū)位于云南東南部河口境內(nèi)的苦苣苔科一個植物新種——南溪蛛毛苣苔（Paraboea nanxiensis Lei Cai & Gui L. Zhang）。該新種在葉片的形狀和毛被、花的顏色、花序短于葉片以及雌蕊無毛等性狀上與產(chǎn)自廣西那坡的垂花蛛毛苣苔（P. nutans D. Fang & D. H. Qin）最為相似。兩者的主要區(qū)別在于：該新種的花萼裂片先端最寬且光滑無毛，花冠淺寬鐘形、花冠筒不明顯、花冠管內(nèi)面基部白色，花絲無毛以及蒴果稍微扭曲;該新種生于云南海拔530～610 m的河口及馬關(guān)一帶，而垂花蛛毛苣苔產(chǎn)于廣西那坡的海拔900～1 150 m段的石灰山。此外還討論了該新種與蛛毛苣苔屬其他幾種基生葉類型的近緣種[如三萼蛛毛苣苔（P. trisepala W. H. Chen & Y. M. Shui）、蔓耗蛛毛苣苔（P. manhaoensis Y. M. Shui & W. H. Chen）及河口蛛毛苣苔（P. hekouensis Y. M. Shui & W. H. Chen）]的區(qū)別，并提供了相關(guān)物種的彩色圖片及區(qū)分說明，主模式標(biāo)本存放于中國科學(xué)院昆明植物研究所標(biāo)本館（KUN）中。近年來，由于中越邊境的石灰?guī)r地區(qū)不斷有新分類群或新記錄物種的發(fā)現(xiàn)，所以很有必要加強(qiáng)對該區(qū)域的植物多樣性考察。

1 Introduction

The genus Paraboea （C. B. Clarke） Ridl. has become one of the larger genera in the Old World Gesneriaceae after the revision （Xu et al.， 2008）， combination （Puglisi et al.， 2011）， transfer （Puglisi et al.， 2016）， and descriptions of many new species （Triboun & Middleton， 2012， 2015; Guo et al.， 2016; Wen & Wei， 2016; Xu et al.， 2017a; Middleton， 2018; Averyanov et al.， 2020）. Up to now it includes more than 130 species mainly distributed in the eastern Himalayas and Indo-China Peninsula and the adjacent areas （Puglisi et al.， 2015; He et al.， 2018）. China harbours a high diversity of Paraboea with many endemic species （Middleton， 2018）， and hitherto， 33 species are recorded in South and Southwest China， such as Guangdong， Guangxi， Guizhou and Yunnan? （Wang et al.， 1990， 1998; Li & Wang， 2005; Chen et al.， 2012; Xu et al.， 2017b; Lu et al.， 2019; Wen et al.， 2019）.

In the floristic surveys in the limestone areas of southeastern Yunnan， China in 2016， we discovered a plant belonging to the Subfamily Didymocarpoideae， Family Gesneriaceae. We confirmed it belonged to the genus Paraboea when we observed its flower and fruit characteristics （such as： two fertile stamens， twisted capsule and cobwebby-woolly hair on the leaf blade） in the following years. After a careful examination of the specimens and the related literature of Paraboea from the adjacent regions， we concluded that this plant represents a new species to science （Wang et al.， 1990， 1998; Li & Wang， 2005; Chen et al.， 2012; Xu et al.， 2017a; Middleton， 2018; He et al.， 2018）. Here， the new species， P. nanxiensis Lei Cai & Gui L. Zhang， is described， and its morphological characters are compared with the closely related species P. nutans D. Fang & D. H. Qin （Fig. 2： A-E）.

2 Taxonomy treatment

Paraboea nanxiensis? Lei Cai & Gui L. Zhang， sp. nov. （Fig. 1）

Type： CHINA . Yunnan Province： Hekou County， Nanxi Township， Baishahe， Laolongtian， 22°41′56″ N， 103°57′19″ E， alt. 536 m， on the rocks under the tropical rainforest in karst region， in flowering， 14 July 2017， G.L. Zhang et al. CL2017085 （holotype KUN！， isotypes KUN！ IBK！）.

Diagnosis：? The new species is morphologically similar to Paraboea nutans in the obovate leaf blade with cobwebby-woolly and brownish woolly hair on both sides， absent or short petiole and purplish blue flowers， but it can be easily distinguished from P. nutans by its calyx lobes oblong to oblanceolate， glabrous， corolla broadly shallow campanulate， tube inside white below the middle， filament glabrous and capsule slightly twisted.

Description：? Perennial herbs， stemless. Leaves

basal; petiole （absent or） 2-5 mm long， rust-brown woolly; leaf blade obovate， 6.5-22.5 × 2.5-10.5 cm， leathery， adaxially dark green， cobwebby-woolly， later glabrescent， abaxially brown cobwebby-woolly to pannose， rust-brown woolly along margin and veins， lateral veins 7-12 on each side of midrib， base attenuate to broadly cuneate， margin undulate， apex rounded. Cymes 1-4， axillary， 1-2-branched， inflorescence 5-15-flowered; peduncle 4-8 cm long， brown cobwebby-woolly， later glabrescent; bracts linear lanceolate， ca. 5 × 2 mm， outside brown cobwebby-woolly; pedicel 1.4-2.4 cm long， glabrous. Calyx 5-parted to base， lobes equal， oblong to oblanceolate， 4-6 × 2-2.2 mm， glabrous， margin entire. Corolla purplish blue， broadly shallow campanulate， outside glabrous; tube short， 5-7 mm long， white below the middle inside， ca. 2 mm in diameter at base， 8-12 mm in diameter at throat; limb slightly 2-lipped; adaxial lip 2-lobed， lobes semicircular to broadly ovate， 5-7 × 6-9 mm， abaxial lip 3-lobed， lobes semicircular to broadly ovate， 6-8 × 7-10 mm. Stamens 2， included; filaments yellowish white， ca. 2 mm long， glabrous， curved in the middle， adnate to 3-4 mm above corolla tube base; anther 2， confluent at apex; staminodes 3， ca. 0.4 mm long， adnate to ca. 1 mm above corolla tube base. Disc inconspicuous. Pistil glabrous; ovary conical， 3-6 mm long， ca. 1 mm in diameter; style linear 5-8 mm long， ca. 0.5 mm in diameter; stigma 1， capitate. Capsule linear， slight twisted， 1.2-1.8 cm long， ca. 1.5 mm in diameter， with persistent style.

Phenology： Flowering from July to August; fruiting from September to December.

Distribution & Ecology： Paraboea nanxiensis is found from Hekou County and Maguan County with two separate populations in southeastern Yunnan Province， near the border between China and Vietnam. It grows on the surface of the moist rocks under the tropical rainforest in limestone area with other lithophytic plants （e.g. Adiantum L.， Begonia L.， and Elatostema J. R. Forster & G. Forster）.

Etymology：? The specific epithet “nanxiensis” is derived from the name of the type locality， Nanxi Township， Hekou County， Yunnan Province， China. The Chinese name is “nán xī zhū máo Jù Tái” （南溪蛛毛苣苔）.

Conservation status：? Approximately only 50 individuals were found in two separate locations during filed investigation. Base on the result of field surveys and available data， Paraboea nanxiensis is provisionally assessed as Critically Endangered （CR） B2a according to IUCN Red List categories and criteria （IUCN， 2019）， and we will continue to pay attention on the dynamics of this plant species with extremely small populations.

Additional specimens examined：? China， Yunan Province， Maguan County， Gulinqing Community， Juziyuan， Zhankengdaokou， 103°54′09.91″ E， 22°43′41.92″ N， alt. 610 m， on the surface of moist rocks， 20 November 2017， L. Cai et al. CL2017092 （KUN！）.

Notes：? Paraboea nanxiensis morphologically resembles P. nutans in the obovate leaf blade with cobwebby-woolly and brownish woolly hair， absent or short petiole and purplish blue， however， P. nanxiensis can be clearly distinguished from P. nutans by several vegetative characters， e.g. the calyx lobes oblong to oblanceolate， glabrous （vs. oblong or lanceolate-oblong， outside sparsely brownish woolly）; corolla broadly shallow campanulate （vs. helmet shaped）; limb slightly 2-lipped （vs. limb obviously 2-lipped）; tube inside white below the middle （vs. two yellow patches underside of tube near base）; filament glabrous （vs. glandular puberulent）， and capsule slightly twisted （vs. not twisted）. Additionally， the new species grows in the altitude of 530-610 m in southeastern Yunnan， while its congener grows at an altitude of 900-1 150 m in Guangxi. It also resembles P. trisepala W. H. Chen & Y. M. Shui from Guangxi in the shape and indumentum characteristic of leaf blade， but obviously different in the three calyx lobes and straight capsule of the latter （Chen et al.， 2008） （Fig. 2： F）. There are also two basal leaves Paraboea species （P. hekouensis Y. M. Shui & W. H. Chen and P. manhaoensis Y. M. Shui & W. H. Chen） in the same geographic region， but they are very different from the new species. P. hekouensis has white flowers and golden-brown simple long trichomes on the lower leaf surface， petioles， peduncles and pedicels， while P. manhaoensis has tiny white flowers and golden subsessile glands on lower leaf surface on the veins， petioles， peduncles and filaments （Chen et al.， 2012） （Fig. 2： G， H）. At the same time， the type locality is in the Sino-Vietnamese limestone region which is one of the biodiversity hotspots in the world， many species of Gesneriaceae （including the genus Paraboea） were discovered in this area in recent years （Chen et al.， 2012， 2014; Cai et al.， 2017， 2019; Xu et al.， 2017a; Middleton， 2018; Chen et al.， 2019; Lu et al.， 2019; Averyanov et al.， 2020）， therefore， we will continue to pay more attention to the Gesneriaceae species diversity in this area and adjacent region.
