Two new species of Aspidistra (Asparagaceae) from Guangxi, China: A. chunxiuensis and A. longshengensis

Abstract
Two new species, Aspidistra chunxiuensis and A. longshengensis, discovered in Guangxi Zhuangzu Autonomous Region of southern China, are described and illustrated. The first taxon is similar to A. grandiflora in the shape of the flower, but differs by leaf blade broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, base suborbicular; the perigone lobes shorter, 30–35 mm long; stigma upper surface flat, white, with 6 radial, purplish red, 4-fork-tipped lines from center to margin. The second taxon has close relations to A. pingtangensis in the shape of flower, but mainly differs by the perigone purplish red, lobes larger, 3–4 × 2–3 mm, adaxially shallowly verruculose from lobes to the upper part of the tube, stamen inserted at the middle of the tube.
