1 Introduction

The redefined Primulina Hance， based on the re-circumscription of recent molecular phylogenetic studies， is the largest genus in the subfamily Didymocarpoideae of Gesneriaceae with about 204+ species （including subspecies and varieties） in China （Wen et al.， 2019， 2020）， including nearly all previous species of Chirita sect. Gibbosaccus Clarke， all species of Chiritopsis W. T. Wang， and two species of Wentsaiboea D. Fang & D. H. Qin （Wang et al.， 1998; Fang & Qin， 2004; MOller et al.， 2011; Wang et al.， 2011; Weber et al.， 2011; Xu et al.， 2012; Wang et al.， 2017）. Its species diversity is still growing rapidly due to numerous new species being constantly discovered and described? since the past decade （Yang et al.， 2018）. Interestingly， more than 170 Primulina species are endemic to limestone karsts of South to Southwest China and North Vietnam （Wang et al.， 2017; Xu et al.， 2017; Hong et al.， 2018; Wen et al.， 2019）.

Mount Danxia in Guangdong Province is one of the famous examples of Danxia landform characterized by red-colored sandstones and conglomerates of largely Cretaceous age. In the past three decades， five endemic plant species were found there， namely， Danxiaorchis sinchiana J. W. Zhai， F. W. Xing & Z. J. Liu （Zhai et al.， 2013）， Diospyros danxiaensis （R. H. Miao & W. Q. Liu） Y. H. Tong & N. H. Xia. （Zhao et al.， 2018; Tong & Xia， 2019）， Firmiana danxiaensis H. H. Hsue & H. S. Kiu （Xu et al.， 1987）， Primulina danxiaensis （W. B. Liao， S. S. Lin & R. J. Shen） W. B. Liao & K. F. Chung （Shen et al.， 2010; Xu et al.， 2012）， and Viola hybanthoides W. B. Liao & Q. Fan （Fan et al.， 2015）. The endemism in this unique Danxia landform also arouse peoples interests in the biodiversity patterns.

Since 2004， we have conducted continuous biological surveys on Mount Danxia in order to elucidate the biodiversity patterns of Danxia landforms （Peng et al.， 2011）. During the expeditions， a distinct Primulina species was collected by the third author （JQG） in 2016. Including this putative new taxon， a total of six Primulina species occur in Mount Danxia. The rest are P. danxiaensis，P. depressa （Hook. f.） Mich. MOller & A. Weber， P. rotundifolia （Hemsl.） Mich. MOller & A. Weber， P. fimbrisepala （Hand.-Mazz.） Y. Z. Wang， and P. eburnea （Hance） Y. Z. Wang（Wang et al.， 1998; Wei et al.， 2010; MOller et al.， 2011; Weber et al.， 2011; Wang et al.， 2011）. At the first glance， the putative new taxon looks similar to P. depressa， which is a relatively common species on Mount Danxia. However，? after two years field observations and the comprehensive literature studies， we confirm that it is a new species and obviously distinguished from P. depressa. Therefore， it is described and illustrated here.

2 Materials and Methods

Morphological observations of the new species and its close relatives were carried based on living plants in the field as well as dry specimens. High resolution image of the holotype specimen of Primulina depressa （deposited in K， barcoding number K000858361） was consulted on JSTOR Global Plants （https：//plants.jstor. org/， accessed 10 July 2019）. All morphological characters were measured using a micrometer and a stereomicroscope （Leica S8APO， Leica Microsystems Inc.， Germany） and descriptions were made following the terminology presented by Wang et al.（1998） and Li & Wang （2005）. The voucher specimens are deposited in IBSC， IBK and SYS.

Primulina huangjiniana? W. B. Liao， Q. Fan & C. Y. Huang， sp. nov.? Fig. 1， 2

Similar to Primulina depressa， but differs from it by its shorter bracts 2.5-6 mm long （vs. 15-30 mm long）， calyx lobes subequal （vs. unequal）， filaments glandular-puberulent above the midpoint and geniculate near the base （vs. glabrous and geniculate near the middle）， deeply 2-lobed obdeltoid stigma with two linear lobes （vs. slightly 2-lobed lamelliform stigma with two acute-triangular lobes）， and parietal placenta （vs. axile placenta）.

Corolla 3.5-4.0 cm long， pale blue-purple or white， with bluish purple stripes inside， upper part of the interior of the corolla with a yellowish brown marking， outside sparsely puberulent， inside glabrous; corolla tube tubular to infundibuliform， 2.4-3.1 cm long， 7-10 mm in diameter at the mouth， 3-4 mm in diameter at the base; limb distinctly 2-lipped， adaxial lip 2-lobed， lobes ovate， 8-10 × 5-7 mm， abaxial lip deeply 3-lobed， lobes oval to oblong， 10-12 × 5-7 mm. Stamens 2， adnate to 1.5-2 cm above the corolla tube base; filaments linear， 8-13 mm long， geniculate near the base， with glandular trichomes above the midpoint; anthers fused by the entire adaxial surfaces， 1.5-3.5 mm long， glabrous. Staminodes 3， the lateral ones 2-5.5 mm long， apex capitate， adnate to 1.3-2 cm above the corolla tube base， the middle one 0.5-1 mm long， sometimes absent， adnate to 1-1.2 cm above the corolla tube base， glabrous; Disc annular， ca. 1 mm in height.

Capsule ovoid to cylindrical， 4-9 mm long， 2-3 mm in diameter， densely pubescent.

Distribution and habitat.? Primulina huangjiniana is currently known only from two localities on Mount Danxia， Renhua County， North Guangdong， China. The species grows on moist rocks in forest edge or on sunny rocks of the cliff. The associated herb species mainly include Microsorum fortunei （T. Moore） Ching， Onychium japonicum （Thunb.） Kze.， Selaginella davidii Franch.， S. delicatula （Desv.） Alston and Youngia heterophylla （Hemsl.） Babcock & Stebbins.

Preliminary conservation status.? Only two populations were found with no more than 200 mature individuals in a total area of about 0.5 km2. The localities of two populations are over 10 km apart. Thus， the species could be considered as Critically Endangered （CR， B2a） according to IUCN Red List Criteria （IUCN， 2017）.

Phenology.? Flowers from March to May and fruits from April to June （observation by QF and JQG in the field from March 2017 to November 2018）.

Key to differentiate the new species and other species from? Mount Danxia of Guangdong， China

1. Corolla yellowish， smaller， 12-15 mm long Primulina danxiaensis

1. Corolla non-yellow， bigger，≥25 mm long 2

2. Leaf blade margin serratus to dentate 3

2. Leaf blade margin entire 5

3.? Peduncle 6-28 cm long or longer， corolla inside purple-stained P. fimbrisepala

3.? Peduncle ≤5 cm long or shorter， corolla inside no purple-stained 4

4.? Bracts 15-30 × 1.5-3 mm， corolla 4.5-5 cm long P. depressa

4.? Bracts 2.5-6 × ca. 1 mm， corolla 3.5-4 cm long P. huangjiniana

5.? Leaf blade orbicular-ovate to orbicular-reniform， bracts narrowly triangular， 4-6 × 0.8-1 mm P. rotundifolia

5.? Leaf blade ovate to elliptic or obovate， bracts ovate to orbicular-ovate， 10-45 × 8-28 mm? P. eburnea

Guangdong Province （Hooker， 1892）， but without detailed location. In fact， it is a very common species on the moist rocks of Mount Danxia， but interestingly， it never grows together with P. huangjiniana. It had been mistaken to be P. depressa before anatomical studies were done to find its parietal placenta differed from P. depressas axile placenta.

The two species share some similar characters， e.g. peduncles usually shorter than the petioles that makes the flowers appear nestled among the leaves， a piece of yellowish brown marking on the upper part of the interior of the corolla， and a relatively smaller capsules （less than ca. 1 cm long in length） compared to other Primulina species having large corolla which usually have longer linear capsules with the length 1-5 cm （except the previous Chiritopsis and Wentsaiboea species）. However， Primulina huangjiniana can be readily distinguished from P. depressa by its slender rhizome （2-5 mm vs. 6-12 mm in diameter）， shorter leaf blade （3-7.5 cm long vs. 8-20 cm long） and bracts （2.5-6 mm long vs. 15-30 mm long）， calyx lobes subequal （vs. unequal）， filaments with glandular-puberulent above the middle and geniculate near the base （vs. filaments glabrous and geniculate near the middle）， deeply 2-lobed obdeltoid stigma with two linear lobes （vs. slightly 2-lobed lamelliform stigma with two acute-triangular lobes）， and parietal placenta （vs. axile placenta） （Table 1）. In addition， the two species have different flowering time. After two years field observation on Mount Danxia， we found that P. huangjiniana blossomed from March to May， while P. depressa blossomed from April to June.

Differences between the new species， its morphologically related species and other species from the Mount Danxia are shown in the following identification key （Fig. 3， Fig.4）：
