, a new species endemic to Danxia landform in east Jiangxi Province, eastern China, is described and illustrated. The systematic placement of this new species was confirmed by molecular phylogenetic analyses based on four plastid markers (, , and ) and nuclear ribosome ITS sequence, and its specific relationships within were discussed. Morphologically, the new species is clearly different from other species by having a series of uncommon traits, i.e., annual habit, without stolons and basal leaves, single, erect and unbranched stems, long petiolate leaves abaxially grayish green to silver gray, truncate to broadly cuneate leaf bases, racemes extremely elongated up to 35 cm long, white corolla, and palate densely covered by conspicuous clavate gland-like hairs. The new species is assigned to Critically Endangered (CR) according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.
描述并图示了一种中国东部江西省丹霞地貌特有的新物种。基于四个质体标记(、、和)和核糖体ITS序列的分子系统发育分析证实了该新物种的系统位置,并讨论了其在属内的具体关系。在形态上,该新物种具有一系列不常见的特征,即一年生习性、无匍匐茎和基生叶、单茎直立且不分枝、具长叶柄的叶片背面灰绿色至银灰色、叶基部截形至宽楔形、总状花序极度伸长至35厘米长、白色花冠以及上颚密被明显的棒状腺毛,从而明显区别于其他物种。根据世界自然保护联盟(IUCN)红色名录类别和标准,该新物种被列为极度濒危(CR)。
