ABSTRACT
A new species in genus Stauranthera Benth. is described from Arunachal Pradesh, India. S. aureoglossa sp. nov. is a caulescent herb found in moist and shady streams of mid-elevation forests of Upper Subansiri District. It can be distinguished from the other species in the genus based on a combination of morphological characters such as distinctly 2-lipped, tubular-campanulate, spurless corolla, with yellow, raised papillose patch on the inside of the lower lip of corolla. Color plates of this taxon, along with those of the other two species of Stauranthera reported from India are provided for easy identification.
