Abstract

In a recent summary, Tillich (2014) keyed 43 species of Aspidistra Ker Gawler (1822: 628) for Vietnam. Two of them, i.e. A. bicolor Tillich (2005: 317) and A. subrotata Wan & Huang (1987: 223), originally described from Guangxi (China), were found in Tam Dao NP, Vinh Phuc Prov. During a study trip in northern Vietnam, an additional new species of Aspidistra was discovered in Tam Dao National Park. The species which has features relating it to A. crassifila Y.Liu & C.-I Peng in Lin et al. (2013: 43) is described here.
