According to morphological observation and literature consultation, a new species of Henckelia (Gesneriaceae), H. connata X. Z. Shi & Li H. Yang, is described and illustrated. This new species resembles H. dimidiata , but differs in its dilated and connate petiole bases (versus separated), longer peduncles (4–10 cm long versus 0.3–2.2 cm long) and pedicels (1.5–4.0 cm long versus up to 1 cm long), lanceolate to triangular bracts (versus ovate), of smaller size (4–7 × 3–5 mm versus up to 16 × 13 mm), bluish purple to light blue corolla tube (versus yellow) and pubescence on most organs (glabrous or sparsely pubescent).
