<i>Oreocharis konkakinhensis</i> (Gesneriaceae) sp. nov. from the Central Highlands, Vietnam
Oreocharis konkakinhensis, a new species of Gesneriaceae, is described and illustrated from the Central Highlands, Vietnam. The new species is morphologically most similar to Oreocharis phuongii , a recently described species from central Vietnam. However, it clearly differs from the latter by having stems without stolons, subulate bracts, yellow inner surface of corolla lobes with purple patches, and filaments sparsely puberulent at the base. A detailed morphological description, along with a color illustration, and information on its phenology, distribution, ecology, and preliminarily conservation status, as well as a comparison with its similar species, are also presented.
