, it occurs only in its type locality. The environment of the habitat is stable. We found about 200 individuals of the new species scattered along the river bank (elevation ca. 2500-2600 m) of Yuer Gou, Toksun Co. and we did not find individuals of this species outside this area. The herbarium investigation showed that several

. Based on currently available data, we considered the new species to be a local species endemic to a small area of Yuer Gou, Toksun Co. The open areas of the riverside, in which the new species occurs, may be threatened by settlements and agricultural activities. Therefore, we propose that the new species should be treated as Endangered (EN) in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categories system (
