Open publisher page 10 citations

Abstract

Bupleurum baimaense X.G. Ma & X.J. He sp. nova (Apiaceae) is proposed here based on morphological characters and chromosome number (2n = 12). The material of this species has thus far been treated in China as B. dalhousieanum. However, B. baimaense has no branches or lateral umbels on stems, whereas B.dalhousieanum has branches and lateral umbels on the distal part of stems. Bupleurum baimaense is most similar to B. commelynoideum, but differs mainly by its stems usually being decumbent and numerous. Bupleurum baimaense is known from northwest Yunnan (Deqin) and southeast Tibet (Zayul) in China.
