Based on morphological studies performed on live plants in the field and specimens deposited in herbaria, a new species, Gang Yao & Shixiao Luo (Phyllantheae, Phyllanthaceae), is here described and illustrated. The species is morphologically most similar to Wight, but can be distinguished from the latter by having hairy branchlets, longer pedicels, uniseriate and narrowly triangular sepals of female flowers, 4-5-locular ovaries, stout and cylindric persistent style on fruits.
基于对野外活体植物以及保存在标本馆中的标本进行的形态学研究,在此描述并图示了一个新物种, Gang Yao & Shixiao Luo(叶下珠科叶下珠族)。该物种在形态上与Wight最为相似,但可通过具毛的小枝、较长的花梗、雌花单列且狭三角形的萼片、4-5室的子房、果实上粗壮且圆柱形的宿存花柱与后者区分开来。
