Abstract
A new species, Rohdea changii, is described from NW Yunnan, China. It is somewhat similar to R. nepalensis, R. siamensis and R. wattii in sharing the character of the long bracts exceeding the flowers, but differs mainly by the oblanceolate leaf blades, acute leaf apices, bracts often distally lobed, oblique-zygomorphic flowers, flowers tuning to nearly white at late and after anthesis, 6 to 9 stamens, and 5-lobed stigmas. The comparison of the new species with R. nepalensis, R. siamensis and R. wattii is reported.
