MALVA XIZANGENSIS (MALVACEAE), A NEW SPECIES FROM XIZANG (TIBET), CHINA
Abstract
Malva xizangensis Y. S. Ye, L. Fu & D. X. Duan, a new endemic species of Malvaceae from Xizang (Tibet), China, is described and illustrated. It is closely related to M. pusilla, from which it differs in having shorter individuals, stellate velutinous leaf blade, linear epicalyx lobes, blue corolla and 8–11 ridged mericarps which are smooth abaxially and reticulate adaxially. Leaf epidermal characters also support the recognition of M. xizangensis.
