808C020263715AC3ABD747833E189EE9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species resembles P. megacalyx in having tomentose twigs and large tepals, but differs from the latter species by broader leaves (12 - 18 cm vs. 4.5 - 11.5 cm), shorter inflorescences (10 - 15 cm vs. up to 23 cm), densely pubescent ovary (vs. only pubescent at the apical portion) and the enlarged stigma (vs. inconspicuous); also similar to P. macrocarpa in that the twigs of both being robust and tomentose, but distinguished by the longer tepals ca. 9 - 13 mm (vs. ca. 4 mm).	en	Liu, Bing, Jin, Wei-Yin, Zhao, Li-Na, Yang, Yong (2020): A new species of Phoebe (Lauraceae) from south-western China.
