DC9AA0C8899457BC88B6FD7D91DB1043.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Yushania tongpeii is morphologically similar to Y. oblonga, Y. pingshanensis and Y. straminea, but can be easily distinguished by having taller branching from nodes 1 - 2 m above the ground, sparse purple spots on the internode, densely purple spotted culm sheaths, glabrous margins of culm sheaths and tomentose leaf ligules.	en	Zhang, Yu-Xiao, Ye, Xia-Ying, Liu, En-De, Li, De-Zhu (2019): Yushania tongpeii (Poaceae, Bambusoideae), a new bamboo species from north-eastern Yunnan, China.

DC9AA0C8899457BC88B6FD7D91DB1043.taxon	description	Description. Rhizomes pachymorph, rhizome neck 17 - 41 cm long, 0.4 - 0.6 cm in diameter, solid. Culms 2 - 5 m tall, 0.8 - 1.5 cm in diameter; internodes terete, 15 - 38 cm long, initially sparsely purple-spotted, thinly white powdery, densely below nodes, glabrous; culm wall 2 - 4 mm thick; nodes inconspicuous; sheath scar prominent, with persistent remains of sheath base. Branching from nodes 1 - 2 m above the ground, branches usually 3, the base appressed to the culm. Culm sheaths tardily deciduous, oblong, leathery, 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 as long as internodes, densely purple-spotted, sparsely setose or glabrous abaxially, margins glabrous; auricles narrowly falcate; oral setae radiate; ligules 1 - 3 mm tall, truncate, margins entire or shallowly serrate; blades erect or recurved, lanceolate. Foliage leaves 3 - 5 per ultimate branch, sometimes a slender branchlet with 3 - 5 foliage leaves extending from the apex of the ultimate branch; sheaths initially sparsely setose and white powdery, glabrescent, green or purple, margins glabrous; auricles narrowly falcate, deciduous; oral setae several, radiate, deciduous; ligules truncate or a little arched, 2 - 3 mm tall, tomentose abaxially; petiole puberulous, initially white powdery; blades 9.5 - 21 x 1.2 - 3 cm, shallowly wavy when dry, glabrous, glaucous abaxially, secondary veins 4 - 6 pairs, transverse veins conspicuous, apex tapering, margins serrate. Inflorescence unknown.	en	Zhang, Yu-Xiao, Ye, Xia-Ying, Liu, En-De, Li, De-Zhu (2019): Yushania tongpeii (Poaceae, Bambusoideae), a new bamboo species from north-eastern Yunnan, China.

DC9AA0C8899457BC88B6FD7D91DB1043.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. This new species is only found in Daguan County, north-eastern Yunnan, China. It occurs above the upper limit of distribution of Chimonobambusa tumidissinoda Hsueh & T. P. Yi ex Ohrnberger in this area, and grows under the evergreen broadleaved forests at an altitude between 2200 - 2400 m.	en	Zhang, Yu-Xiao, Ye, Xia-Ying, Liu, En-De, Li, De-Zhu (2019): Yushania tongpeii (Poaceae, Bambusoideae), a new bamboo species from north-eastern Yunnan, China.
