Chrysosplenium fallaxKoldaeva, recently discovered and collected in Yanji, Jilin Province, represents a newly recorded species of Saxifragaceae in China. This species, native to the Russian Far East, was first described as a new species in 2021. Based on precise field investigations and specimen examination, we provide a comprehensive description of
C. fallaxand its seed micromorphology. Phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genomes of 45
Chrysospleniumspecies confirmed the systematic position of
C. fallaxin
Chrysosplenium. Voucher specimens were deposited in the Herbarium of South-Central Minzu University (HSN).
