branches terete Leaves alternate, Ϯ crowded towards apex of branchlets; petioles 1.0–1.5 cm long, canaliculate; leaf blade obovate–elliptic, 9–16 ϫ 3–6 cm, attenuate at base, broadly acute at apex, entire, chartaceous; punctations numerous, black, scattered, most distinct on young leaves; lateral nerves in 12 to 18 (20) pairs, with short intermediaters, angle to the midrib about 50°, arcuate upward, anastomosing at margin, reticulation of veins prominent beneath Inflorescence lateral, corymbose-paniculate, branched once Peduncle 4.0–6.5 cm long, slightly compressed; branches 1.5–2.5 cm long, each bearing to subumbellate flowers Pedicels 8–16 mm long Calyx ca mm long; tube ca mm long; lobes ca mm wide, rounded at apex, sparsely and minutely punctuate Corolla purplish, ca cm long; tube ca 1.5 mm long; lobes broadly ovate-elliptic, ϫ mm, acute at apex, sparsely punctuate Anthers narrowly ovate, 3.5–4.0 mm long, acute at apex, opening by lateral slits; filament very short, ca 1.5 mm Ovary ovoid, ca 1.5 mm in diameter, narrowed upwards to the style; style ca mm long; ovules numerous, in series on placenta Distribution, habitat and phenology Ardisia banaensis is known only from the type locality, on the mountain slopes of the Ba Na-Nui Chua protected area (around point 15°59′52″N, 107°59′04″E), Hoa Vang District, Da Nang City, Vietnam It occurs scattered in heavily disturbed closed evergreen primary and secondary seasonal tropical broad-leaved submontane forest and scrub, on very steep mountain slopes with granite mother rocks at 900–1500 m a.s.l It was found flowering in May Figure Ardisia banaensis C M Hu & L K Phan sp nov (A) flowering branch, (B) flower, with corolla and stamens removed, (C) corolla opened showing stamens, (D) corolla-lobe and stamen, (E) pistil Drawn by Liu Yunxiao from the isotype in IBSC Similar species Ardisia banaensis belongs to Ardisia subgen Tinus which is characterised by lateral inflorescences and imbricate calyx-lobes The closest affinity of the new species is with A polycephala Wall ex A DC., but can be easily distinguished from the later by its corymbiform paniculate inflorescence and the oblong-elliptic and scarcely imbricate calyx-lobes, so it is somewhat abnormal in the subgenus Tinus Ardisia sadirioides C M Hu & L K Phan sp nov (Fig 2) Ardisiae applanatae C M Hu & J E Vidal subsimilis, sed ab ea inflorescentiis terminalibus, subsessilibus, floribus minoribus, ovulis 6–8 uniseriatis differt Type: Vietnam Quang Binh Province: Tuyen Hoa District, Lam Hoa municipality, near Ca Tang bridge crossing 677 Figure Ardisia sadirioides C M Hu & L K Phan sp nov (A) flowering branch, (B) flower bud, (C) corolla opened showing stamens, (D) stamens showing dorsal and ventral sides, (E) pistil Drawn by Liu Yunxiao from the isotype in IBSC upstream Gianh River, around point, 17°57′30″N, 1054°8′43″E, ca 60 m a.s.l., May 2012 PVT 582 (holotype: HN, isotypes: IBSC, LE, VNM) Etymology The specific epithet sadirioides refers to the genus Sadiria of Myrsinaceae, which the new species superficially resembles by having very short and subsessile inflorescence 678 Description Small shrub, ca 0.5–1.5 m high;
