Figs. 1, 4.</p><p>Basionym:— Tutcheria rostrata Chang (1983: 106) .</p><p>Type:— CHINA: Guangdong: Yangchun city, from Heweishan to Sanchahe, in sparse forest on mountain ridge, 19 October 1957, W.T. Lin 30962 (holotype SYS (not seen); isotype PE00024541!). Fig. 1A .</p><p>Description:—Shrubs ca. 3 m tall. Young branches yellowish brown to grayish brown; current year branchlets glabrous. Petiole 1–1.8 cm long; leaf blade elliptic, 9–14 × 3–5 cm, leathery, both sides green, sparsely pubescent when young but soon glabrescent, midvein abaxially elevated and adaxially impressed, secondary veins 7–9 on each side of midvein, base cuneate, margin obtuse-serrate, apex acute to obtuse. Flowers axillary, solitary, 5–7 cm in diam. Pedicel 1.5–4.5 cm long, glabrous; bracteoles 2, broadly ovate, 2–2.5 × 1.5–2 mm, outside densely yellow sericeous. Sepals 5, suborbicular to broadly ovate, 5–7 mm in diam., leathery, outside yellowish sericeous, margin membranous, apex rounded. Petals 5 or 6, yellow, obovate to elliptic, 2–3 × 1.2–1.5 cm, outside yellowish sericeous, inside glabrous, margin membranous, apex emarginate. Stamens numerous, ca. 1 cm long, glabrous; outer filament whorl basally slightly connate and adnate to petals. Ovary glabrous, 3-loculed with 1–2 ovules per locule; style single, glabrous. Capsule triangular-pyramidal, base rounded, apically rostrate, 1.5–2 cm in diam., 3–4 cm long, dehiscent from base; pericarp 1–5 mm thick when dry, woody, glabrous.
