Lysimachia speciosa (Primulaceae), a new species from Central China
A new species, <i>Lysimachia speciosa</i>, from western Hubei Province, Central China, is described and illustrated. The species is morphologically similar to <i>L. deltoidea</i>, especially var. cinerascens, but mainly differs from the latter by the recurved pubescence on the stem, petiole, and pedicel; the rhombic-ovate or ovate-lanceolate leaf blade; the longer petiole, calyx, corolla, stamens, and style; the erose lobes of the corolla; and the hairy ovary and capsule.
