For further comparison see Table 1.</p><p><b>Material examined</b></p><p><b>Type</b> LAOS • Champasak Province, Dong Hua Sao National Protected Area, near Nong Luang Village, on rocks in open grassland at the summit of the Bolaven Plateau; at 1230–1270 m a.s.l.; 17 Sep. 2020; <i>Souladeth, Souvannakhoummane, Phonepaseuth & Vongthavone L3950</i>; holotype: FOF!; isotypes: BKF, E, KAG.</p><p><b>Paratype</b> LAOS • Champasak Province, Dong Hua Sao National Protected Area, near Nong Luang temple, on rocks in open grassland; 1154 m a.s.l.; 16 Sep. 2020; <i>Souladeth, Souvannakhoummane, Phonepaseuth & Vongthavone L3823</i>; E, FOF!, HNL, KAG.</p><p><b>Etymology</b></p><p>The specific epithet refers to the plant having erect leaves.</p><p><b>Vernacular name</b></p><p>ຊີດິນໃບຕັ້ງ [ʻSeedin Baitungʼ (meaning: ʻ <i>Sonerila</i> with erect leavesʼ)].</p><p><b>Description</b></p><p>Herbs acaulescent or with a short rhizomatous stem, 10–14(–20) cm tall including inflorescences. <i>Rhizome</i> cylindrical, 2–3 cm long and 5–10 mm in diam, covered with long blonde hairs, hairs 3–4 mm long. <i>Leaves</i> simple, forming a basal rosette, erect; lamina elliptic-oblong, ovate-elliptic, 4–6 × 2–2.5 cm, membranous, green, sparsely covered with whitish hairs on margin and tip adaxially, pale green, sparsely covered with whitish hairs on veins abaxially, apex mucronate or rounded, base cuneate or attenuate (to truncate), margin finely crenate and sparsely long ciliate, with 2 pairs of primary lateral veins arising from base of lamina; petiole 6–10 cm long, light green to reddish-brown, sparsely covered with long pale green hairs. <i>Inflorescence</i> terminal, scorpioid cyme or subumbelliform cymes, 5–12(–18)-flowered; peduncle 10–15 cm long, 2–2.5 mm in diam., glabrous to sparsely hairy. <i>Bracts</i> minute. <i>Hypanthium</i> cylindrical, 8–9 mm long, 2 mm in diam., reddish brown, glabrous, Calyx lobes 3 (or rarely 4), triangular, ca 1 × 2.5 mm, apex short acuminate; pedicel 6–12 mm long, 0.9–1 mm in diam., glabrous. <i>Petals</i> 3 (or rarely 4), elliptic-oblong, 9–11 × 5–6 mm, pinkish purple to light pink, rarely white adaxially, pearl pink abaxially tinged with dark pink along midvein. <i>Stamens</i> 3 (or rarely 4), anthers lanceolate, 7–8 mm long, curved, basally inflated and deeply cordate, bright yellow; filaments 6–8 mm long, glabrous, usually pale pink. <i>Ovary</i> 3-locular (or rarely 4), ellipsoid, style 11–13 mm long, glabrous, pale pink, sometimes pale green to white, stigma capitate, glabrous, white. <i>Fruits</i> and <i>Seeds</i> not seen.</p><p><b>Distribution, habitat and phenology</b></p><p><i>Sonerila erectifolia</i> Phonep., Soulad. & Tagane sp. nov. grows on exposed, open, moss-covered bedrock on the Bolaven Plateau, where it is found together with <i>Boesenbergia burttii</i> (K.Larsen & Jenjitt.) Mood & L.M.Prince (Zingiberaceae Martinov) and several fern species including <i>Oleandra undulata</i> (Willd.) Ching (Oleandraceae Ching ex Pic.Serm.), <i>Nephrolepis cordifolia</i> (L.) K.Presl (Nephrolepidaceae Pic. Serm.), and <i>Leucostegia truncata</i> (D.Don) Fraser-Jenk (Hypodematiaceae Ching), at 1230–1270 m a.s.l. Flowering in September.</p><p><b>Preliminary conservation status</b></p><p><i>Sonerila erectifolia</i> Phonep., Soulad. & Tagane sp. nov. is found only at the top of the Bolaven Plateau (near Nong Luang Village). The number of mature individuals is estimated to be fewer than 250, which together generate an area of occupancy of less than 10 km 2. The area is a well-known tourist attraction with associated habitat disturbance that could affect the survival of this species. Therefore, we assess the species as Critically Endangered (CR) B2ab(iii) (IUCN 2019).</p>
