Abstract

The rediscovery of Cremanthodium principis (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) in northwestern Yunnan, China is reported. Based on this finding, the type locality of this species is precisely localized, its habitat preference is specified, and some morphological characters are added for it. Moreover, the finding allows us to gain a better understanding of the taxonomic affinities of C. principis with other species in the genus. We also evaluate the conservation status of C. principis.
