Lei, Wu; Ru, LiuSpiradiclis glandulosa L. Wu & Q. R. Liu, a new species from limestone areas in southern China, is described and illustrated here. This new species is similar to S. umbelliformis, but can be distinguished from the latter mainly by its leaf blade abaxially with densely distributed yellow glandule-like spots (vs. abaxially pilosulous), calyx lobes oblong-laceolate, ca. 4–6 mm long (vs. ovate-triangular, ca. 0.6 mm), corolla tube inside densely pubescent above middle and onto lobes in both form (vs. inside with villous ring above base), capsules villosulous (vs. glabrescent).
