A revision of the genus Beesia (Ranunculaceae) as informed through integrative taxonomy, with description of a new species from Sichuan (China)
Our study helps demonstrate how broader application of integrative approaches in systematic biology may both better inform recognition of previously undiscovered taxonomic diversity and better inform outlines for conservation of biodiversity. The newly uncovered species, <i>B. yangii</i>, is known from very few localities and is already of critical conservation concern.
