Rhizome horizontal, below-ground, +5–12 cm +long, with adventitious roots at the nodes; stems usually 3–5 caespitose, +50–120 cm +long, quadrangular, pubescent, at least when young, with a spreading habit, distal parts of stems and branches usually slender and smaller leaved, forming the flagelliform runners that usually root at the 1–3 distal nodes. Leaves opposite, rarely 3 - whorled in the upper section of stems; petioles +0.5–2.5 cm +long, adaxial sides shallowly grooved, abaxial sides rounded, narrowly winged, margins pilose, amplexicaul at the base; leaf blades broadly ovate to deltoid-ovate, +1.5–9.5 cm +long, +1–6.5 cm +wide, with acute or subobtuse apices, broadly cordate, subrounded or truncate, rarely cuneate at the base (on the runners), margins entire or slightly undulate, densely scattered with transparent glandular striations that sometimes turn purple when dry, glabrous adaxially, and abaxially sparsely pubescent along the midrib when young, becoming glabrate with age; lateral veins in 4–6 pairs, with the lowest 1–2 pairs arising from the base, the others alternating, midrib and lateral veins impressed adaxially, raised adaxially, veinlets inconspicuous. Flowers solitary in axils of leaves; pedicel +1.1–2.5 cm +long, usually shorter than subtending leaves, sparsely pubescent. Calyx +5–5.5 mm +long, 5 – parted almost to the base, connate part ca. +0.5 mm +, lobes elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate, unequal, 4.5–5 × +1.5–2 mm +, densely transparent glandular striate, the stripes becoming purple when dry, sparsely pilose outside; corolla yellow, with an orange or orange-red base, rotate, +2–2.3 cm +in diam., 5 - parted, tube +1–1.5 mm +long, lobes narrowly lanceolate, +10–12 mm +long, +2.5–3 mm +wide, sparsely transparent glandular striate, the stripes becoming black-purple when dry, glabrous inside, glandular-pubescent outside and along margins; stamens 5, adnate to the base of the corolla tube, erect, yellow, glabrous, filaments basally connate into a tube ca. +2 mm +long, free parts +4–6 mm +long, anthers basifixed, oblong, +1.1–1.3 mm +long, open by lateral slits; pistil glabrous, ovary globose, ca. +1.5 mm +in diameter, the style filiform, +7–8 mm +long, stigma obtuse, slightly wider than the style. Capsule subglobose, +3–4 mm +in diam., glabrous. Seeds dark brown, rhombic, +0.5–1 mm +long, 3–4 angled, glabrous. + + + + +Phenology. + +Flowering from late May to early July; fruiting from mid-July to late August. + + + +Distribution and habitat. + +This species is endemic to two specific townships in Fang County, confined to a narrow limestone valley that lies between the neighboring villages of Tanjiawan and Nantang. It is observed along roadsides, within water ditches, in sparse shrublands on hillsides, and at the edges of sparse forests. The elevation of its habitat ranges from 690 to 712 meters. + +The main companion plant species include trees such as + +Populus adenopoda +Maxim. + +, + +Quercus serrate var. brevipetiolata +(A.

Vernacular name: Mao Hua Guo Lu Huang (Chinese). + + + + +Conservation assessment. + + +This species inhabits a narrow limestone valley, extending approximately ten kilometers in straight-line distance between two villages. The region is characterized by significant limestone exposure and thin, infertile soil layers, reflecting a fragile natural ecosystem. This ecosystem is highly susceptible to human activities. Following its initial discovery in 2014, the species has shown significant population fragmentation due to road construction, deforestation for agriculture, and livestock grazing. The current population size is estimated to consist of around one thousand individuals. Based on the IUCN Guidelines (Version 16) ( +IUCN 2024 +), the species may be classified as ‘ Endangered’. + + + + \ No newline at end of file
