Abstract

Aspidistra linearistyla, a new species of Asparagaceae from Ha Giang Province, Vietnam, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to A. cerina, but clearly distinguished by its tubular perianth to 24–26 mm long with a white tube and yellow lobes, and linear pistil that is13–14 mm long and 0.8–1 mm in diameter. The new species is currently known only from the type locality in northern Vietnam. A detailed taxonomic description along with photographs of the diagnostic characters is presented.
