A new species, Hedyotis xinyiensis X. Guo & R.J. Wang (Rubiaceae), from the west of the Guangdong province, China, is described and illustrated. It belongs to Hedyotis sect. Diplophragma due to its septicidal dehiscence of mature capsules. The morphological characters that distinguish it from the two similar species, H. consanguinea and H. matthewii, are listed in a table. The ultrastructure of pollen grains, seeds, and leaf epidermis was examined by SEM.
