MARTINEZ-MELENDEZ, Nayely et al. A new species of Alsobia (Gesneriaceae) from Chiapas, Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2014, vol.85, n.2, pp.343-348. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.32633.

Alsobia chiapensis, a new species from Chiapas, Mexico is described and illustrated. It differs from its 2 congeners by a relatively larger corolla and shorter limb; linear-lanceolate calyx lobes; and petiole less than a third of the length of the leaf blade. The new species shares characteristics found in other species of Alsobia such as fimbriate margins on the corolla lobes, and stolons.
