Aspidistra daqingshanensis (Asparagaceae) was described and illustrated as a new species from Longzhou County, Guangxi, China. It is morphologically similar to Aspidistra fasciaria G.Z. Li but differs in its leaf blade wider to 4–8 cm, distal margin denticulate, perianth lobes broadly ovate, yellow, stigma white, slightly recurved at apex. A somatic chromosome count of 2n = 38 and a karyotype formula 2n =22m + 10sm + 6st were determined for A. daqingshanensis. The new species is currently only known from the type locality in southwest Guangxi, near the border with northern Vietnam.

General culture recommendations for Aspidistra: 

Cast Iron Plant (Aspidistra elatior): All You Need To Know

Aspidistra : culture emphasizes neglect-tolerant, low-maintenance care, thriving in deep shade, infrequent watering (allowing soil to dry between), and tolerating poor soils, making them excellent houseplants or outdoor shade groundcovers in USDA Zones 8-10, with the key being to avoid direct sun to prevent scorching and ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot. They prefer indirect, low light, rich well-drained soil, and are drought-tolerant but benefit from regular feeding in spring/summer.
