Abstract

Disporum jinfoshanense X. Z. Li, D. M. Zhang & D. Y. Hong, a new species of
the Liliaceae from Nanchuan, Chongqing, China, is described and illustrated. This species is
morphologically similar to D. smilacinum A. Gray in having leaves ovate to elliptic,
inflorescences terminal, flowers spreading, tepals white, slightly saccate at the base, but
differs from the latter in having stems dwarf, 15–20 cm tall, leaves 3–4, all on the upper part
of the stems, petioles 2–4 mm long, and tepals densely pubescent on the inner surface.
