Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal one new species of Sinocrassula belonging to Crassulaceae

A new species, Sinocrassula adpressa (Crassulaceae), is described and illustrated from Yunnan Province, southwest region of China in present study. Morphologically, S. adpressa can easily recognized by stem purple red with spots, leaves purple red with spots, petals central protrusion with red stripe, sepals obovate-triangle and purple. A phylogenetic analysis based on four plastid markers and one nuclear marker supported the new species as mostly closely related to S. ganluoensis and S. obliquifolia.
