            <p>Herbs perennial, evergreen, rhizomatous. Rhizome creeping, subterete, 6–8 mm thick, nodes dense. Roots numerous. Vaginal leaves 5–6, purple-red, 2–12 cm long, enveloping base of petiole, becoming black-brown when dry. Leaves solitary, 1–2 cm apart; petiole stiff upright, 23–35 cm long, 2–3 mm thick, adaxially sulcate; leaf blade usually broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, 20–32 cm long, 9–11 cm wide, dark green, base broadly cuneate to suborbicular, abruptly narrowed to petiole, inequilateral, apex acuminate, margin entire, with prominent midvein on lower surface and 3–4 inconspicuous secondary veins at both sides. Peduncle erect or declining, purple, 9–11 cm long, with 7–8 bracts, bracts gradually wider from base to top of peduncle, the distal ones at base of perigone broadly ovate, purplish red, 22–28 mm long, 16–20 mm wide, apex obtuse. Flower solitary; perigone campanulate, fleshy, deeply 12 (or 13) lobed apically; tube 10–12 mm long, 35–38 mm in diameter, abaxially withe with purplish red spots, adaxially blackish purple, and with 12 (or 13) keels running from base of stamens to mouth of perigone tube; lobes explanate, subequal, ovate-lanceolate, 30–35 mm long, 6–8 mm wide at base, abaxially densely purplish red spotted, adaxially pale yellow and purplish red mottled at base frequently, each lobe basally with an adaxial, white, odontoid appendage, appendages 4–5 mm long, 5–6 mm wide, with verrucose dark purple margin, the bases explanate protruding horizontally over tube opening and reducing the opening to 18–20 mm. Stamens 12 (or 13), opposite to lobes, subsessile, inserted at the base of perigone tube, anthers oblong, 2–3 mm long and 1–2 mm wide. Pistil 8–10 mm long, ovary inconspicuous, style short, cylindrical, 2–3 mm long, ca. 1 mm in diameter, stigma enlarged, disc-shaped, 5–6 mm thick, ca. 30 mm in diameter, upper surface flat, white, with 6 radial, purplish red, 4-fork-tipped lines from center to margin, its margin purple-red and bent upwards, with 24 (or 26) longitudinal ribs, abaxially white. Flowering from May to June.</p>
            <p> Distribution and ecology: —  Aspidistra chunxiuensis was collected from broad-leaved forests on rocky, limestone outcrops with deep fissures. The new species is found only in the type locality in Chunxiu, Xiadong Township, Longzhou County, Guangxi, China. </p>
            <p> Etymology: — The specific epithet  ‘ chunxiuensis ’ is derived from the name of the type locality, Chunxiu Natural Reserve, Longzhou County, Guangxi, China. </p>
            <p> Taxonomic relationships: —  Aspidistra chunxiuensis is similar to  A. grandiflora Tillich in Tillich et. al. (2007: 341) in the shape of flower, but mainly differs by leaf blade broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, 21–31 × 5–7.5 cm, base broadly cuneate to suborbicular; the perigone lobes shorter, 30–35 mm long; stigma upper surface flat, white, with 6 radial, purplish red, 4-fork-tipped lines from center to margin. By contrast,  A. grandiflora differs in its leaf blade narrowly obovate, 50 × 11 cm, base narrowly cuneate; the perigone lobes longer, 50–60 mm long; stigma upper surface with 5 purple radial ribs in the central.  Aspidistra chunxiuensis is also similar to  A. longiloba Li (1988: 156) and  A. guangxiensis Tang &amp; Liu (2003: 480) , however,  A. longiloba differs in its leaf blade oblanceolate, 50–70 × 10.5–15 cm, base narrowly cuneate, the perigone tube longer, 35–37 mm long, the perigone lobes 70–75 mm long, basal appendage oblong, 13 cm long;  A. guangxiensis differs in its flower smaller, lobes 6 or 8, 2–3 cm × 2–6 mm, tube 1–2 cm diameter, stigma 1–1.5 cm diameter, upper surface with 3 or 4 purple ridges at center, margin with 12 or 16 triangular lobes. </p>
            <p>Other specimen seen (paratype): — CHINA. Guangxi Zhuangzu Autonomous Region, Guilin City, Yanshan Township, Guilin Botanical Garden, introduced from the type locality, cultivated, 15 May 2014, C. R. Lin 1046 (IBK!).</p>

Vagina leaves 4–5, dull reddish-brown, up to 10 cm long, enveloping base of petiole, fibrous when withered. Leaves solitary, 1–3 cm apart; petiole stiff upright, 10–32 cm long, 2–3 mm thick, adaxially sulcate; leaf blade usually elliptic to ellipticlanceolate, 23–34 cm long and 5–6.5 cm wide. dark green with small yellowish white spots, base cuneate, inequilateral, apex acuminate, margin entire, with prominent midvein on lower surface and 4–5 inconspicuous secondary veins at both sides. Peduncle purplish red, 1–3 cm long, with 4–5 bracts, the two bracts at the base of perigone broadly ovate, white with purple spots, 4–5 mm long, 6–8 cm wide, apex subobtuse. Flowers solitary; perigone urceolate, fleshy, purplish red; lobes 8 (occasionally 6), suberect, triangular, 3–4 mm long and 2–3 mm wide at base, adaxially shallowly verruculose, thickened at base; tube 4–5 mm long, greatest 9–11 mm diameter, adaxially deep purple and shallowly verruculose at the upper part of the perigone tube, white at the bottom half of the tube; Stamens 8, opposite to lobes, inserted at the middle of perigone tube, positioned lower than stigma; anther pale yellow, subglobose, ca. 1 mm long and wide, filaments ca. 1 mm long. Pistil peltate, ca. 4 mm long, ovary inconspicuous, style white, shortly cylindrical, 1–2 mm tall, ca. 2 mm in diameter, stigma shortly obpyramidal, white below, upper surface purplish red, ca. 6 mm in diameter, with (3–)4 prominent radial ridges at center, 4-lobed at margin, lobes emarginate at apex. Flowering from August to October.</p>
            <p> Distribution and ecology: —  Aspidistra longshengensis is currently known only from Jianxin Natural Reserve, Jiangdi town, Longsheng County in northern Guangxi, China. It grows under evergreen broad-leaved forest, in the river valley at 350–400 m altitude, together with species like  Asplenium loxogrammoides Christ ,  Haplopteris amboinensis (Fée) X.C.Zhang ,  Microsorum punctatum (L.) Copel.,  Begonia palmata D.Don ,  Begonia fimbristipula Hance ,  Archidendron lucidum (Benth.) Nielsen ,  Aidia cochinchinensis Lour. ,  Chirita fimbrisepala Hand. -Mazz.,  Rhododendron rivulare Hand. -Mazz. </p>
            <p> Etymology: — The specific epithet  ‘ longshengensis ’ is derived from the name of the type locality, Longsheng County, Guangxi, China. </p>
            <p> Taxonomic relationships: —  Aspidistra longshengensis is similar to  A. pingtangensis (He et al. 2011: 187) in the shape of flower, but mainly differs by the perigone purplish red, lobes larger, 3–4× 2–3 mm, adaxially shallowly verruculose from lobes to the upper part of the tube, stamens inserted at the middle of the tube.  Aspidistra longshengensis is also similar to  A. fenghuangensis KY.Lang in Lang et. al. (1999: 494) (Deng et. al. 2010), however, the latter species differs in its perigone campanulate, lobes recurved, 6 × 3–4 mm, adaxially 2-keeled, keels densely papillose. A detailed comparison of the three species is presented in Table 1. </p>
