Fu, Y. Ma & H. X. Yin 2026	<div><p>Solms-laubachia garzeensis J. Fu, Y. Ma &amp; H. X. Yin, sp. nov.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>S. garzeensis is morphologically similar to S. himalayensis, S. stewartii and to S. linearis . All four species have rosette-shaped, hairy basal leaves, racemes with bracts throughout the plant, and long, readily cracked and detached siliques. However, by synthesizing the characteristics of simple trichomes, blue-violet petals, large siliques, toothed bracteal leaves and cryptic coloration possessed by the new species, it can be distinctly distinguished from the aforementioned three species (An ink-line drawing of S. garzeensis is presented in Fig. 7).</p><p>Type.</p><p>China • Sichuan Province: Garze County, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=99.974&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=31.4405" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 99.974/lat 31.4405)">Shaluli Mountains</a>, on scree slopes, 31°26.43'N, 99°58.44'E, elev. ca. 4700 m, 10 September 2024, Jie Fu &amp; Yu Ma FMGZ 168 (holotype: CDCM!; isotype: CDBI!, KUN!) .</p><p>Description.</p><p>Perennial herbs 1.8–6 cm tall, densely pilose throughout with simple trichomes to 1.5 mm long. Stems 4–10 cm tall, simple, pilose. Basal leaves fleshy, grayish-green to brownish gray, densely pilose, persistent; petiole 0.5–2.4 cm long, ciliate; leaf blade spatulate or flabellate, 14–25 × 6–12 mm, base cuneate to attenuate, margin with 3–6 teeth, apex acute, rarely entire. Racemes 4–25 flowered, bracteate throughout; bracts similar to basal leaves but smaller, adnate to pedicel, with 6–13 sharp teeth; siliqueing pedicels ascending, straight or curved, pilose. Sepals free, oblong, 7–10 × 2.5–4 mm, caducous, pilose, margin purple-membranous, base not saccate. Petals blue-violet with yellowish-green center, 4.5–6 mm long, 5–7 mm wide; claw 8–10 mm long; limb obovate to broadly so. Stamens median filaments 5–8 mm long, lateral filaments 3–5 mm long; anthers 1.8–2.5 mm long. Silique lanceolate, 3.7–11.1 cm × 7–14 mm, strongly flattened; valves pilose or glabrous, distinctly veined; septum complete, membranous; style obsolete; stigma 2 - lobed. Seeds claybank, ovate, biseriate, 4–6 × 2.5–4.5 mm.</p><p>Phenology.</p><p>Flowering period May – June; siliqueing period September – October.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>This species was discovered in the Shaluli Mountains located at the border between Garze County and Xinlong County (Fig. 1 and Fig. 8). The Shaluli Mountains stretch continuously here, with the highest altitude exceeding 5900 m. Garze means “ the place favored by the Bodhisattva ” in Tibetan. This is an important economic and cultural center in the northern part of the Kham Tibetan region. The name of this species comes from Garze County, where it was discovered. “ Garze ” is a transliteration of the Tibetan term “ དཀར ་ མཛ ེ ས ”, and it is currently the internationally accepted name for this region.</p><p>Distribution and habitat.</p><p>After years of field survey on HDM, up to now, we have only discovered this species in the Shaluli Mountains at the border of Garze County and Xinlong County. It grows on gravel slope areas at an altitude of approximately 4700 meters (Fig. 1), and its associated plants include Saussurea medusa, Bistorta vivipara . Currently, S. garzeensis is facing threats such as a gradually shrinking distribution area and a decline in population due to human activities. Due to global warming and human disturbance, the habitat and distribution range of S. garzeensis have been steadily diminishing. Concurrently, due to pronounced geographical isolation, the population faces a potential risk of inbreeding depression.</p><p>Applying the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (Version 16.0, IUCN Standards and Petitions Committee 2024), our assessment demonstrates that the results are consistent with [B 1 ab (i, ii, iii)] and (C 1), extent of occurrence (EOO) &lt;100 km 2 (B 1), severely fragmented habitat (a), with continuing decline (b) in extent of occurrence (i), area of occupancy (ii) and area, extent and / or quality of habitat (iii). The number of mature individuals within this population is less than 250 and continues to decline (C 1). We provisionally assess it as Critically Endangered (CR).</p><p>Additional specimens examined (paratypes).</p><p>The same locality as holotype, May 29, 2025, Jie Fu &amp; Yu Ma, FJMYGZ 201 (CDCM!, KUN!) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1756AD8F0EA15177B52DBEF61A7E70D5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
