描述了采自中国云南东南部红河县的苦苣苔科一新种——红河短檐苣苔(Tremacron hongheense),新种与该属模式种短檐苣苔(Tremacron forrestii Craib)最为相似,区别在于该新种叶片正面疏被长刚毛,而非较密的白色贴伏短柔毛和稀疏锈色长柔毛;花冠筒外面具白色短腺毛,而非近无毛;花冠檐部裂片顶端呈红色,且质地加厚(特别是上唇裂片),而非黄色且同质地;雄蕊长约1.6~1.8cm,而非0.4-1.2cm长:退化雄蕊长0.5~1.4cm,而非0.2-0.4cm长。
A new species of Gesneriaceae from Honghe County, Southeastern Yunnan, China, Tremacron hongheense W. H. Chen & Y. M. Shui, is described and illustrated. The new species is similar to Tremacronforrestii Craib, but differs by its leaf blade adaxially sparsely long setose (vs. densely white appressed pubescent and sparsely rusty- brown villous), corolla tube outside short white glandular (vs. nearly glabrous), corolla lobes red and thickening at apex, especially adaxial lip (vs. yellow and not thickening), stamens 1.6-1.8 cm long ( vs. 0. 4-1.2 cm long), staminode 0. 5-1.4 cm long (vs. 0. 2-0. 4 cm long).
