Abstract
Based on a comprehensive morphological and molecular data analysis, we have confirmed and described a new species within the genus Sinocrassula, which is distributed in Sichuan Province, China. Morphologically, the new species resembles Sinocrassuladiversifolia and S.indica, but it is distinctly different from them in its asymmetrical leaves, leaf apex with glands, triangular petals that are white at the base and adorned with dense purple-red stripes and spots on the surfaces upward, and rectangular nectar scales. A phylogenetic analysis utilizing four plastid markers and one nuclear marker supports the conclusion that the new species is sister to S.ganluoensis.
