Abstract:A new species of Magnoliaceae, Michelia taishanensis Y. H. Tong, X. E. Ye, X. H. Ye & Yu Q. Chen is reported, which is currently known only from Beifeng Mountain in Taishan City, Guangdong, China. This species is similar to M. guangdongensis Y. H. Yan, Q. W. Zeng & F. W. Xing, but differs from the latter by its more slender petioles, leaf blades with glabrescent abaxial surface, and more and longer stamens with white filaments and much shorter anther connectives.
