A new species of Asteraceae, Senecioneae called Synotis nyalamensis, was discovered in Nyalam county, southern Xizang (Tibet), China. It closely resembles S. kunthiana but has distinct differences in stature, stem quantity, leaf tips, leaf nerves, and number of disk florets.
Synotis nyalamensis (Asteraceae, Senecioneae), a new species from Nyalam county in southern Xizang (Tibet), China, is described and illustrated. It is most closely similar to S. kunthiana, a species occurring in northwestern India, Nepal, and Pakistan, in having abaxially white-tomentose leaves and cylindric-campanulate capitula, but differs by having higher stat-ure (45???60 vs. 20???40 cm), singular (vs. several) stems, caudate-acuminate (vs. acuminate) leaf tips, prominent (vs. obscure) nerves on abaxial side of leaves, and more disk florets (15???24 vs. 7???12).
