Rhizome creeping, subterete, +8–10 mm +thick, covered with scales, nodes dense. Vaginal leaves 5–6, purplish red, +1–10 cm +long, becoming fibrous remnants covering the stem. Leaves paired or occasionally solitary, +5–10 mm +apart; petiole stiffly upright, +7–24 cm +long, +2–3 mm +thick, adaxially sulcate; leaf blade narrowly lanceolate, 48–62 × +2–2.5 cm +, dark green, base cuneate, gradually narrowing into a petiole, apex acuminate, margin entire. Peduncle decumbent or declining, purplish red to dark purple, +2–4 cm +long, with 3–4 bracts, bracts gradually wider from base to top of peduncle, the two uppermost at base of perigone broadly ovate–cucullate, purplish red, ca. 10 × +12 mm +, obtuse at apex. Flowers solitary; perigone campanulate, fleshy, +27–32 mm +long, +17–20 mm +wide; lobes 6, slightly recurved, abaxially purple-red, adaxially yellow and with purple-red mottled at base, triangular–lanceolate, +15–18 mm +long, +7–8 mm +wide at base, apex acuminate, and each with 4 prominent verrucose longitudinal keels, 2 median keels extending down to the base of the tube, each lateral keel fusing with the adjacent one; tube +12–15 mm +long, +16–18 mm +in diameter, reddish to dark purplish red; stamens 6, opposite to perigone lobes, inserted at the bottom of the tube, closely attached to the pistil base, filaments upright, enlarged, ca. +3 mm +long and ca. +2 mm +in diam., anthers yellow, extrorse, elliptic, ca. +3 mm +long, +2 mm +wide; pistil ca. +5 mm +long, ovary inconspicuous, style white, cylindrical, ca. +3 mm +long, +1 mm +in diameter, stigma peltate, ca. +4 mm +in diameter, upper surface purplish red, shallowly convex and with 3 radial, bifurcate deep grooves, 3-lobed with undulate margins. Flowering in November to December. + + + + +Etymology: +The species name refers to the extrorse anthers of the species. + + + + +Distribution and ecology: +This new species is currently known from Jingxi county, southwestern +Guangxi +. It grows on limestone slopes, under evergreen broad-leaved forests at an elevation about + +850 m +. + + + + + +Relationship: +The new species mostly resembles + +Aspidistra tenuifolia +C.R.
