594DE92A06468565A75316F4A2CFAD9C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species differs from the most similar Hieracium veresczaginii Schischk. & Serg. mainly in a greater density of simple hairs (rare to sparse vs. solitary or sometimes absent) on the phyllaries.	en	Sennikov, Alexander N. (2014): Hieracium sinoaestivum (Asteraceae), a new species from North China. PhytoKeys 39: 19-26, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.39.7788, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.39.7788

Stem 60 - 70 cm tall, robust, pale green, without simple hairs (paratype) or with abundant simple hairs up to 3 mm long (holotype), with lax stellate pubescence mostly in the lower half. Leaves up to 50, gradually decreasing in size upwards, sessile, clearly bicolour, intensely green on upper surface, pale green beneath, with lax stellate pubescence on both sides and simple hairs 1.5 - 2 mm long along margins and beneath; the lower unknown (withered at anthesis); the lamina of the median leaves (most developed) 9 - 12 cm long, 2.5 - 4 cm wide (ratio 1: 3 - 3.5), oblong-ovate, widest near basal third, acute at apex, broadly cuneate or rotund at base, with 4 - 5 pairs of narrow acute teeth up to 5 (8) mm long; the lamina of the upper leaves up to 6 cm long, 1.5 - 1.8 cm wide, ovate-lanceolate, widest near base, acute at apex, rotund at base, with 3 - 4 pairs of small narrow teeth. Synflorescence up to 25 cm long, laxly branched with 3 - 8 branches and 10 - 35 capitula; branches elongated, without simple and glandular hairs under the capitula, with dense stellate pubescence. Capitula cup-shaped, rounded at base. Phyllaries (Fig. 2) 9 - 10 mm long, 1 - 1.2 mm wide at middle, 1.5 - 1.7 mm wide at base, oblong-triangular with a gradually narrowed apex, olive green, the inner with paler margins, with simple and glandular hairs along a narrow median line and with stellate hairs over the surface; the inner with rare to sparse (5 - 15) simple hairs 1 - 1.2 mm long, dark at base, otherwise whitish, with sparse (up to 20) glandular hairs 0.2 - 0.5 mm long, thin and rather dark, with lax stellate pubescence, tipped with a few very short cilia at apex. Florets 15 - 18, 16 - 17 mm long. Ligules probably intensely yellow, glabrous-tipped. Styles with black spines. Achenes ca 4 mm long, brick red. Pappus 7 - 8 mm long, yellowish.	en	Sennikov, Alexander N. (2014): Hieracium sinoaestivum (Asteraceae), a new species from North China.

594DE92A06468565A75316F4A2CFAD9C.taxon	distribution	Distribution. The new species is known from a single locality in the Shanxi Province of China, situated approximately at 38.3 ° N, 111 ° E in the Lueliang Mountains (Fig. 3). This locality lies within the distribution area of Hieracium umbellatum (Shih and Gottschlich 2011) but at the distance of ca. 600 km from the nearest locality of Hieracium sect. Prenanthoidea s. l. (including hybrids) in southern Siberia (Tupitzina 2004).	en	Sennikov, Alexander N. (2014): Hieracium sinoaestivum (Asteraceae), a new species from North China.
