QING-WEN ZENG*, LIN FU AND FU-WU XING

Abstract: Manglietia pubipetala Q.W. Zeng, a new species of Manglieta Bl. (Magnoliaceae), from Yunnan, China is described and illustrated, which occurs in the evergreen broad-leaved forest in Maguan (Bazhai), Xichou (Fadou), and Malipo (Jingchang) County, Yunnan Province, China. It is closely related to M. rufibarbata Dandy, M. megaphylla Hu & Cheng and M. moto Dandy, but differs primarily in its glaucous lower surfaces of leaves, pubescent tepals, and villose stamens and gynoecium.
