A new stoloniferous violet from Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan in southern China, Viola austrosinensis Y.S.Chen & Q.E.Yang sp. nov. , is described and illustrated. This species has been previously misidentified as Viola kiangsiensis . Viola austrosinensis is somewhat similar to Viola sumatrana , but differs in a series of significant characters. © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2008, 158 , 755–761.
