贡山露珠草 gong shan lu zhu cao

Known only from the type, this is the hybrid Circaea alpina subsp. imaicola × C. cordata and is intermediate between the two parents in overall appearance. Some leaves with the base rounded to cordate are like those in C. alpina subsp. imaicola, but some leaves on the upper portion of the stem have the base cordate as in C. cordata. The pubescence is more dense than in C. alpina subsp. imaicola but with fewer of the long, straight trichomes of C. cordata.

● Moist forests; ca. 1800 m. NW Yunnan (Gongshan).
