The population (voucher D 6632) discovered in Xingyi, southern Guizhou represents the first record of this species in Guizhou Province, although our molecular data indicate it represents a cryptic lineage. Morphologically, this species is characterised by its sterile leaves being long-ciliate at the margin and the lateral leaves oblong with rounded apices (Fig. 5). It is similar to S. spinulosovena, but distinctly differs by its leaves lacking a white margin (vs. obviously white margin in S. spinulosovena). The phylogenetic analysis indicates this cryptic species to be sister to S. kurzii . Morphologically, it differs from the latter in having oblong (vs. ovate-triangular) lateral leaves and broadly ovate (vs. ovate or ovate-elliptic) median leaves.</p><p>Voucher specimen from Guizhou, China.</p><p>• <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=104.95472&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=25.134445" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 104.95472/lat 25.134445)">Maling River Canyon</a>, Xingyi, 25°08'04"N, 104°57'17"E, elev. 1038 m, 2 August 2024, S.

Notably, during examination of spore morphology in specimen D 6641, we observed that the microspore surface sculpture is variable. In some microspores, a distinct honeycomb-like pattern is evident, whereas in more well-developed microspores, it appears obscure or only partially visible. This suggests that the honeycomb-like sculpture may gradually diminish as the spores reach full maturity in S. parachrysocaulos .</p><p>Voucher specimen from Guizhou, China.</p><p>• <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=104.75278&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=24.952501" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 104.75278/lat 24.952501)">Qishe</a>, Xingyi, 24°57'09"N, 104°45'10"E, elev. 1855 m, 3 August 2024, S.
