Kuepferia kanchii D. Maity, Sentu K. Dey & Adr. Favre, a new species from Sikkim Himalaya, is described and illustrated. It differs from its close relative K. infelix (C.B.Clarke) Adr. Favre [=Gentiana infelix C.B.Clarke] by having sessile and smaller flowers, as well as smaller floral components. Kuepferia kanchii is further characterized by a white corolla with bluish green patches on the outside at the base of each corolla lobe, and a corolla tube flushed with light green inside towards the base, blue filaments, sessile stigma, smaller capsule, and trigonous–elongated, c. 0.8 mm long and curved seeds.
