Abstract
Microchirita baolamensis T.S. Hoang, W.G. Wang & H.C. Xi (Gesneriaceae) is described and illustrated as a new species from Vietnam. It resembles M. involucrata and M. rupestris, but differs from them by its cristate inflorescence, purple corolla tube with yellow stripes and eglandular pubescence, and free anthers. It further differs from M. involucrata by a partly pubescent ovary and an eglandularly pubescent style. Based on IUCN categories and criteria, the species is assessed as Critically Endangered (CR).
