Abstract

Phoebe jingxiensis, a new species of Lauraceae from China, is described and illustrated. Morphological comparison with Phoebe yaiensis, P. crassipedicella and P. lanceolata is provided. Both morphological and molecular evidence clearly indicate that P. jingxiensis is a distinct species. It differs in leaf blade being shiny and tea-colored, elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate, apex long acuminate or caudate-acuminate; inflorescences 5–12.8 cm long; fruit ovoid, 1.1–1.4 × 0.8–0.9 cm, fruiting pedicel 0.6–1.5 cm, not thickened, persistent perianth lobes subequal, 4–6 × 3.5–4 mm; and seed oval, 0.9–1.3 × 0.6–1.1 cm.
