D52E5492689D5CEB808E285826A9DEB2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is morphologically most similar to Neillia gracilis Franch., but differs notably in several characters. N. daloushanensis is a creeping liana with stout and quadrangular branchlets, whereas N. gracilis is not. Its leaves are approximately twice as long and wide as those of N. gracilis. The stipules are large and wide, broadly ovoid, sessile, and clasping, measuring 0.8 – 1.3 cm in length and 0.6 – 1.1 cm in width. The calyx tube is densely pilose on both surfaces and bears stipitate glands abaxially. Seeds number 2 – 4 (vs. 2 in N. gracilis, details refer to Table 2).	en	Wu, Xu, Ma, Dai-Kun, An, Ming-Tai, Feng, Yu-Cai, Yu, Jiang-Hong, Han, Ji-Huai (2025): Neillia daloushanensis, a new species of Neillia (Rosaceae) from southwest China.

D52E5492689D5CEB808E285826A9DEB2.taxon	description	Description. Creeping lianas, rhizomes woody. Branchlets stout, angular, glabrous, 0.5 – 1.4 m long. Leaves blade ovate or triangular-ovate, 5 – 9 × 3 – 6 cm, apex acuminate or long acuminate, base heart-shaped, margin obtuse doubly serrate and irregular 3 – 5 - lobed, rarely indehiscent, pubescent on both surfaces along veins. Petiole 1.2 – 2.3 cm long, sparsely pilose. Stipules large and wide, broadly ovoid, sessile, clasping, 0.8 – 1.3 × 0.6 – 1.1 cm, apex blunt, margin wavy-toothed, rarely entire, ciliate. Terminal raceme with 4 – 11 flowers, ca. 2.4 cm long. Bracts ovate, margin with ciliate. Pedicel ca. 0.2 cm, pilose. Flowers ca. 0.5 cm in diameter. Calyx tube bell-shaped, 0.3 – 0.4 cm long, densely pilose on both surfaces, covered with abaxially stipitate glandular. Sepals triangular-ovate, 0.2 – 0.3 cm long, apex tapering, margin entire, slightly pilose on both surfaces. Petals obovate, white or pinkish, ca. 0.3 × 0.3 cm, apex emarginate, ciliate. Stamens ca. 20, inserted at the edge of the calyx tube, not exceeding the sepals in height. Ovary densely villous, with 2 – 4 ovules. Follicles hidden in the persistent calyx tube. Seeds 2 – 4, bright brown, with raised seed ridges.	en	Wu, Xu, Ma, Dai-Kun, An, Ming-Tai, Feng, Yu-Cai, Yu, Jiang-Hong, Han, Ji-Huai (2025): Neillia daloushanensis, a new species of Neillia (Rosaceae) from southwest China.

D52E5492689D5CEB808E285826A9DEB2.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. This species is currently known only from Dashahe National Nature Reserve, Daozhen Gelaozu Miaozu Autonomous County, Guizhou Province, where it grows on bare high-altitude land or at the edges of shrubs at an altitude of ca. 1900 m (Fig. 3). It may also occur in adjacent areas of Chongqing Province.	en	Wu, Xu, Ma, Dai-Kun, An, Ming-Tai, Feng, Yu-Cai, Yu, Jiang-Hong, Han, Ji-Huai (2025): Neillia daloushanensis, a new species of Neillia (Rosaceae) from southwest China.
