Zhang, ZSY202008001 (holotype: ANUB; isotypes: PE, KUN) .</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Most similar to L. x haywardii , but differs from it by smaller plant and flower sizes (Figs 3, 4, Table 2) and it is restricted to north-western Hunan Province (Fig. 5).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Perennial herb. Bulbs nearly spherical, 2-3 cm in diameter, covered brown epidermis, with fine lines on the epidermis. Leaves ligulate, often 4-7, blunt apex, appearing in mid-September, 15-27 cm long, 3-5 mm wide; upper surface dark green, mid-vein distinctly pale; bottom surface light green with a raised mid-rib. Inflorescence scapose, 25-30 cm high, green or reddish-brown; 2 spathe bracts, lanceolate, 2-2.5 cm long, 5-7 mm wide, semi-closed to wrap the bud; 3-7 flowers per umbels, pedicels 1.5-2 cm long, diameter 1.5-2 mm; flowers rose-red; perianth lobes oblanceolate, 2.5-2.8 cm long, about 5 mm wide, apex slightly reversed and undulate; floral tubes light red, about 3 mm long. Filaments 3-3.5 cm long, rose-red, slightly longer than tepals, anther yellow, 2-3 mm long; pistil length 4-4.5 cm, middle and lower part diameter 0.8 mm, rose-red, apex diameter about 0.4 mm, dark-red. Ovary 4 mm in diameter, spherical and green. Capsules three-lobed, green or pale when mature; seeds black, spherical, 5-7 mm in diameter.</p><p>Phenology.</p><p>Flowering from mid-July to late-August; fruiting in September; and leaves growing in mid-September.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Lycoris wulingensis is distributed in the east of Wuling Mountains and its surrounding areas, such as Cili, Linli, Li, Taoyuan and Yongding Counties (Fig. 5).</p><p>Habitat.</p><p>Lycoris wulingensis is partial to grow on the edge of forest roads, farmland or riverside beaches, usually under deciduous trees (such as Alangium chinense and Pterocarya stenoptera) and accompanied by Pinellia ternata, Commelina communis, Arthraxon hispidus and Ophiopogon bodinieri etc. The surrounding residents sometimes cultivate it as an ornamental plant.</p><p>Vernacular name.</p><p>武陵石蒜 [wǔ líng shí suàn].</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The specific epithet comes from its distribution area of the Wuling Mountains, which is an important biodiversity hotspot in South Central China.</p><p>Karyotype.</p><p>2n = 22 (Fig. 1J).</p><p>Reproduction.</p><p>This species can reproduce asexually by duplication of bulbs (1.5-2 times per year) and can also sexually reproduce through seeds.</p><p>Conservation status.</p><p>Compared with other species in the Lycoris, the distribution range of Lycoris wulingensis is relatively narrow. Based on preliminary investigation, we found only four large populations and some sporadic distribution points. However, considering the lack of in-depth investigation and also considering that some populations may occur in other similar habitats, we classified its conservation status as Data Deficient (DD), according to the IUCN Red List Criteria (IUCN 2019).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1B44D61636CF5759BD4514786027B365	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
