81D3F315638B5FF2A0D1718F4EA3648C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Schnabelia jiuzhaigouensis is most similar to S. terniflora, but can be distinguished by several morphological differences. Schnabelia jiuzhaigouensis is a perennial herb (vs. shrub), with ovate to lanceolate-ovate leaf blades, 2 – 8 × 1.5 – 4 cm (vs. lanceolate-oblong to ovate, 1.5 – 4 × 1 – 3 cm in S. terniflora), the lateral veins on each side of the mid-rib number 5 – 8 (vs. 3 – 6 in S. terniflora). The upper lip and lateral lobes of the lower lip are oblong in S. jiuzhaigouensis (vs. broadly obovate in S. terniflora) and the middle lobe is cuneate (vs. subrounded). The corolla is puberulent on the outside, but non-glandular (vs. puberulent and glandular in S. terniflora) and the nutlets puberulent (vs. densely hirsute), with S. jiuzhaigouensis lacking reticulate veins on the nutlets (vs. with distinctly reticulate veins in S. terniflora). The differences between the new species and S. terniflora are summarised in Table 2.	en	Zhao, Fei, Gao, Peng-Wei, Zhang, Ting, Liu, Cheng, Xiang, Chun-Lei (2025): Schnabelia jiuzhaigouensis (Lamiaceae, Ajugoideae), a new species from Sichuan, China.

Stems 4 - angled and puberulent, occasionally branched from base; internodes 1 – 11 cm long, puberulent. Leaves opposite, petiole 0.3 – 2.5 cm long, puberulent; leaf blades ovate to lanceolate-ovate, papery, 2 – 8 × 1.5 – 4 cm, puberulent on both surfaces, hairs denser along veins abaxially, base broadly cuneate to rounded or subcordate, apex acuminate, margin serrate, lateral veins 5 – 8 on each side of the mid-rib. Inflorescences axillary cymes, 1 – 3 flowered; peduncle slender, (0.5) 1.5 – 3.5 cm, puberulent; pedicels 0.2 – 1 cm long; bracts lanceolate, ca. 1 – 2 mm long, glabrous or sparsely hairy, bracteoles lanceolate, 0.5 – 1 mm long.
