Abstract:Justicia poilanei Benoist is reported as a new record to China, and occurs in limestone hills at 1000-2400 m in southern Yunnan Province. It was identified as Jusicia patentiflora Hemsl. in herbaria, but differs from the latter by its calyx triangular-ovate, corolla ca. 2 cm long, and anther-thecae muticous at base.
