This new variety is similar to A. daibuensis Hayata var. daibuensis but can be distinguished by its shorter leaf length (72.24 + / - 11.68 cm vs. 95.46 + / - 21.04 cm), smaller ratio of the leaf blade length to width (3.73 + / - 1.43 vs. 8.05 + / - 1.73), thinner perianth lobe (1.28 + / - 0.38 mm vs. 2.79 + / - 0.64 mm), longer curve length of the stigma surface (10.98 + / - 1.38 mm vs. 16.23 + / - 1.45 mm), and larger ratio of the pistil height to stamen height (2.49 + / - 0.59 vs. 2.03 + / - 0.78). It also resembles A. mushaensis Hayata var. mushaensis but differs by its smaller ratio of the leaf blade length to width (3.73 + / - 1.43 vs. 7.66 + / - 1.35), narrower perianth lobe base (5.12 + / - 1.12 mm vs. 7.27 + / - 1.19 mm), and larger ratio of the pistil height to the stamen height (2.49 + / - 0.59 vs. 1.59 + / - 0.26).	en	Lu, Chang-Tse, Yang, Ming-Jen, Luo, Min-Xin, Wang, Jenn-Che (2023): Aspidistra daibuensis var. longkiauensis, a new variety of Aspidistra (Asparagaceae) from Taiwan, identified through morphological and genetic analyses.
