is unique by its trimorphic leaves among these three species. The new species can also be easily distinguished from the other two species by its white flowers, obovate bracts, and campanulate calyx parted more than 1/2 of its length. The main morphological differences between the new species and its allies are listed in Table

. In addition, the geographical isolation among these three species is significant. The new species is distributed in northwestern Yunnan, while
