對產(chǎn)自越南的蕁麻科樓梯草屬植物一新種金喜樓梯草(ElatostemakimhyenseY.G.Wei & V.T.Do)作了描述和繪圖。該種生長于海拔350～400和1 100～1 200 m的石灰?guī)r山地林下。該新種與越南樓梯草(E.vietnamenseQ.Lin & L.D.Duan)接近，區(qū)別在于其擁有肉質(zhì)莖，羽狀脈，葉背面、苞片和小苞片被微硬毛。

The genusElatostemaJ. R. Forster & G. Forster is the largest genus in the family Urticaceae, consists of ca. 500 species and is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Of which, 34 species and one variety are found in Vietnam[1～13].

While studying onElatostemafor the flora of China, we also examined theElatostemaspecimens from the related herbaria in Vietnam, and additional field work were carried out in Vietnam as well. During an expedition at Kim Hy Nature Reserve, Na Ry District, Bac Can Province, North Vietnam, a previously unknown species was collected in dark damp forests on limestone hills at 350-400 m alt., latitude 22°11′56″ N, longitude 106°4′5″ E. After collecting again from the same locality, critical examination to the specimens and carefully consulting relevant literatures, it was identified as a new species. Actually, the specimens of this species were collected many years ago and has been still kept at VNMN and MO herbaria. However, they have not yet been reported and published as a new one to science. Thus, it is described, illustrated and photographed herein as a new species.

ElatostemakimhyenseY.G.Wei & V.T.Do, sp. nov.(Fig.1-2)

Elatostemakimhyenseis most similar toE.vietnamenseQ.Lin & L.D.Duan, but differs from the latter by carnose stems, penninerved leaves, abaxial leaf surface hirtellous, hirtellous bracts and bracteoles.

Fig.2 E.kimhyense sp. nov. A. Habitat; B. Male inflorescence(photographed by Y.G.Wei)

Herbs perennial, tufted, monoecious, 20-60 cm tall. Stems carnose, terete, ascending or decumbent, simple, glabrous. Leaves alternate; stipules linear-lanceolate or subulate, 2-4 mm long, caduceus; petiole 1.5-5.0 mm long; leaf blade papyraceous after drying, obliquely oblanceolate or obliquely obovate-elliptic, 5-11 cm long, 2-3 cm wide, major basal lateral veins absent and venation pinnate, abaxial leaf surface densely hirtellous, adaxial leaf surface glabrous, base cuneate, margin crenate, apex acuminate; cystoliths conspicuous, linear, 0.4-0.6 mm long, dense, random adaxial surface, obscure abaxial surface; nanophylls absent. Male and female inflorescences borne on male and female stems respectively, or male inflorescences borne towards the stem apex and female inflorescences borne towards the stem base. Male inflorescences axillary, solitary, simple, nearly globate, 0.8-1.2 cm in diam.; peduncle 1.5-3 mm long; receptacle very small; bracts 6, hirtellous, connate, unequal, 2 outer ones cymbiform-ovate or ovate, 6-10 mm long, 4-5 mm wide, 4 inner ones broadly lanceolate, 4-5 mm long, 2-3 mm wide; bracteoles narrowly ovate or lanceolate, dense hirtellous, 3-4 mm long; male flowers 7-12, white, 5-merous. Young female inflorescences axillary, solitary, simple, nearly globate, 2-3 mm in diam.; sessile; receptacle very small. Achenes unknown. Flowering from November to December, fruiting from January to February.

Vietnam. Bac Can Province: Na Ry District, Kim Hy National Park, latitude 22°11′56″ N, longitude 106°4′5″ E, 350-400 m alt., on rocks or between rock crevices in dark damp forests on limestone hills, 2 Dec. 2010, Y.G.Wei & V.T.Do V-23 (holotype: PE, isotypes: IBK, VNMN, PE); 21 Jun. 2012, L.F. Fu, F. Wen & V.T. Do VMN_CN 194 (paratypes: IBK, VNMN); Ha Giang Province: Quan Ba District, Bat Dai Son Nature Reserve, latitude 23°09′ N, longitude 104°59′ E, 1 100-1 200 m alt., in primary forest on limestone, N.T. Hiep & L.V. Averyanov 5120 (paratypes: MO).

This species is a member ofElatostemasectionWeddelia(H. Schroeter) W.T.Wang based on penninerved leaf blade, capitate male and female inflorescences with obscure small receptacles[13]. It is most morphologically similar toE.vietnamenseQ.Lin & L.D.Duan[9]based on leaf blades obliquely obovate-elliptic, base cuneate, margin crenate, apex acuminate; male bracts 6, connate, unequal, the 2 outer ones large, the 4 inner ones small. However it differs from the latter in stems carnose (vs. subshrubs); abaxial leaf surface densely hirtellous (vs. glabrous); major basal lateral veins absent and venation pinnate (vs. the pair of major basal lateral veins asymmetric, 1 basal, the other arising above base); bracts and bracteoles hirtellous (vs. glabrous). More detailed morphological differences between two species are given in Table 1.

A new species ofElatostema(Urticaceae), namelyElatostemakimhyenseY.G.Wei & V.T.Do, was described and illustrated.E.kimhyensewas found out in forests on limestone hills at 350-1 200 m asl.. The new species is related toE.vietnamenseQ.Lin & L.D.Duan, but differs from the latter by carnose stems, penninerved leaves, abaxial leaf surface hirtellous, hirtellous bracts and bracteoles.
