Abstract

A new species, Cremanthodium wumengshanicum, is described and illustrated. It is most readily distinguishable in the genus by having 10−14 bracts subtending the head. Morphological differences between C. wumengshanicum and its putative closest allies and a distributional map of the new species are presented.
