Abstract:

A new species, Rhododendron cochlearifolium Xiang Chen & Jiayong Huang (Ericaceae), from Guizhou Province, China is described and illustrated. It differs from the most morphologically similar species R. irroratum and R. agastum mainly by having small and spoon-like leaf blades, a more floriferous inflorescence, a shorter rachis, a corolla with no nectar pouches, glabrous filaments and a densely tomentose, eglandular ovary.A new species, Rhododendron cochlearifolium Xiang Chen & Jiayong Huang (Ericaceae), from Guizhou Province, China is described and illustrated.
