The species ofL. with peltate leaves are common worldwide.In Africa，sect.A.DC. is completely dominated by peltate leaves and with about 46 species in West and West-Central Tropical Africa. In America，sect.A. DC. is mostly dominated by peltate leaves and with 38 species in the Andean regions. In Asia，the pelate-leaved species are randomly in many sections，such asH.L. Li insect.Y.M. Shui & W.H. Chen，A. DC. insubg.（Klotzsch.）C.B. Clarke，and so on. However，sect.Irmsch. is rich in species with peltate leaves in China and Vietnam.

sect.Irmsch. is endemic to the karst regions in South China and North Viet‑nam and represents rich diversity of peltate-leaved species. Up to now，there are 16 peltate-leaved taxa of the total 88 species of the above section，viz.Y.M.Shui，W.H. Chen & H.Q.Nguy‑en，Y.M.Shui & W.H.Chen，H.Lévl.，D.R.Liang & X.X.Chen，Yan Liu，S.M.Ku & C.I. Peng，Hance，S.M.Ku & Yan Liu，H.Q.Nguyen，C.I.Peng&S.M.Ku，Y.M.Shui& W.H.ChenC.Y.Wu，C.I.Peng，Y.H.Qin & C.W.Lin，Y.Wan & B.N.Chang，var.Y.M.Shui& W.H.ChenY.M.Shui& W.H.Chen，T. T. Yü. Among them，andare widely distributed at higher elevation and the lower elevation，respective‑ly. Based on the previous data（CVH，https：//www.cvh.ac.cn/index.php；GBIF，https：//www.gbif.org/），was distributed from Hunan and Chongqing of China to Thanh Hoa and Son La of Northwest Vietnam. So far，have constituted a spe‑cies complex for their almost glabrous habit，peltate leaves and karst habitat.

Thecomplex is gradually rec‑ognized with the integrated surveys and observation in botanic gardens. Before 2006，there were two spe‑cies accepted within the complex，e.g.and. After 2016，there were three new species，e.g.and. Recently，the further field survey and specimen examination in herbaria reveal that there is an additional potential new species in the complex. The unknown species have been identified asin the herbaria worldwide，such as HN，K，LE，MO and P. However，the observa‑tion of living plants in botanic gardens indicates that it is a distinct species because of its combined styles and lunate stigmas. Furthermore，this species is nar‑rowly distributed in Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa prov‑inces of Vietnam，the southernmost regions of the complex. Based on studying genetic diversity of the complex（unpublished），the unknown species is close toin Southwest Guangxi. Here，we name the unknown species asfor its half combination of styles and describe it in the fol‑lowing.

This new species andare separat‑ed from each other in the species complex by the Hong River. Based on our surveys，the new spe‑cies usually grow on middle to near top of the lime‑stone hills，whilegrows at the foot of the limestone hills. As to morphology of stigma，how‑ever，is similar torather than the new species we proposed（Fig.2）. Styles ofis free，that ofis com‑bined at base，while that of the new species is com‑bined up to the middle，showing a gradual evolution‑ary progress of morphology. Additionally，the unpub‑lished genetic diversity of the species complex has shown that the new species form a clade with，and，all of which are phylogenetically sister to. The above evolutionary patterns seem similar to those of some taxa in Gesneriaceae，such asHance.
