Solms‐laubachia eurycarpa is a medicinal herb endemic to the Hengduan Mountains region of south‐central China. We screened a partial genomic library enriched for microsatellites and characterized 10 polymorphic loci for S. eurycarpa . The number of alleles per locus ranged from five to 15, with an average of 9.6. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.2 to 0.725 and from 0.585 to 0.871, respectively. Amplification in closely related taxa was successful for most loci. The results indicate significant potential for the utility of these markers in studying the population genetics of S. eurycarpa and related species.
