ABSTRACT

A new species of Billolivia is described from Central Highlands, Vietnam. The new species shows similarities with its congener B. cadamensis and B. poilanei but differs in several vegetative and reproductive attributes. Hence, we described it here as a new species. A detailed description, distribution, ecology and conservation status along with photographs are provided.
