Chirita guihaiensis sp. nov. (Gesneriaceae) is described and illustrated. Chirita guihaiensis resembles C. macrodonta D. Fang & D. H. Qin, but is distinguished by its entire bracts, lack of tri‐nerved sepals, dark purple corolla, and broader corolla tube with purple stripes inside and with the orifice 1.2–2 cm in diameter. However, C. guihaiensis may also be mistaken for C. rotundifolia (Hemsl.) Wood. and C. cordifolia W. T. Wang, but it differs from all these species as in the key presented in the paper.
