Strobilanthes spathulatibracteata, a new species discovered in northern Vietnam, is morphologically similar to S. tonkinensis but differs in several characteristics. These include its perennial undershrub habit, hirsute young stem, fragrant stem and blades, spathulate bracts and bracteoles, 2-lipped calyx, puberulent outside and hir-sute inside corolla measuring 35-45 mm long, and apically pubescent fruits. The article provides photographs, illustrations, habitat information, ecological details, pollen morphology, and a preliminary conservation assessment.
