Rosafuningensis (Rosaceae), a new species from Yunnan, China.

ABSTRACT: A new species Rosafuningensis and its variant R.funingensisf.rosea, both collected from Yunnan Province, China, are, for the first time, documented and illustrated in this study. Morphological analysis in comparison with two related species in the wild, R.gigantea and R.rubus, presents distinguishable features through leaf surfaces, inflorescences and the shape of styles. R.funingensis leaf surfaces are abaxially villous, purple-red, pale green when mature, adaxially glabrous, dark green; inflorescences solitary or 2-5(7) in corymbose cyme; and styles connate into a column or not, exserted.
