Description
Xiang-ting Shi and colleagues introduce a new primrose from Guizhou, Primula xingyiensis, and fit it into its section. Section Carolinella primroses are hairy, powder-free plants with bell-shaped calyces. Their 2026 description rests on the newcomer's gracile build and unusual flowers.
Slender stems, small leaves furred on both sides, and long-styled single-form flowers set it apart. Its corolla stretches seven to eight times the calyx length, a striking proportion. The authors supply distribution details, a conservation assessment, and a key to every known species in the section. The key turns the paper into a field tool, not just an announcement.
