Eriobotrya fulvicoma (Rosaceae), a new species from Guangdong Province, China.

Eriobotrya fulvicoma W.Y. Chun ex W.B. Liao, F.F. Li & D.F. Cui, a new species endemic to Xinyi, Guangdong Province, China, is described and illustrated. It differs from the morphologically close E. delexa by having papery leaves (vs. leathery in E. delexa), leaf margin shallowly but sharply serrate and not revolute (vs. coarsely obtusely serrate and revolute), 1-2 cm long petioles (vs. 2-6 cm), 8-10.5 mm long petals (vs. 5 mm), and ca. 4.5-6 mm long styles (vs. 2-3 mm).
