Tricyrtis chinensis Hir. Takah. (Liliaceae), A New Species from Southeast China

Abstract

Chinese plants previously identified as Tricyrtis macropoda Miq. are distinct from Japanese plants of that species in several characteristics. We therefore recognize them as a new species, Tricyrtis chinensis, and provide a key to the species of the section Tricyrtis, to which the new species is assigned.
