Introduction
The genus Ridsdalea J.T.Pereira & K.M.Wong (in Wong and Pereira 2016: 42) was segregated from Rothmannia Thunb. (Thunberg 1776: 65) mainly because its corolla lobes are contorted to the left, whereas the lobes in Rothmannia s.str. are contorted to the right. Both genera are closely related and belong to the tribe Gardenieae, subfamily Ixoroideae of the coffee family (Rubiaceae) (Wong and Pereira 2016). While species of Rothmannia are distributed in Africa, representatives of the closely related Ridsdalea inhabit wide areas in the tropics of Southeast mainland Asia and Malesia (Wong and Pereira 2016).
The twelve genera of the tribe Gardenieae occurring in Vietnam, namely Aidia Lour., Aidiopsis Tirveng., Alleizettella Pit., Brachytome Hook.f., Dioecrescis Tirveng., Duperrea Pierre ex Pit., Gardenia J.Ellis, Kailarsenia Tirveng., Oxyceros Lour., Randia L., Rubovietnamia Tirveng., and Vidalasia Tirveng. (Pham 2000; Tran 2005), are well segregated from each other morphologically and well-supported by molecular data (Robbrecht and Manen 2006; Bremer 2009; Mouly et al. 2014). Besides left-contorted corolla lobes, typical diagnostic characteristics of the genus Ridsdalea are such features as large shrub or tree habit; unarmed shoots with opposite or verticillate leaves (in groups of 3); interpetiolar stipules without distinct venation; terminal or pseudoaxillary, 1–7-flowered, cymose inflorescences; bisexual flowers; 2-celled ovaries with axile placentation; and, large, baccate, many-seeded fruits (Chen and Taylor 2011; Wong and Pereira 2016).
All species of Ridsdalea are rather large shrubs or small, medium, or large trees scattered in lowland or submontane woods on soils derived from various parental rocks. Some species prefer exclusively alluvial soils in limestone areas and often inhabit rocky, steep slopes of rocky karstic hills.
Twenty-eight species of Ridsdalea distributed in Indochina and Malesia were recognized in a comprehensive monograph of the genus (Wong and Pereira 2016, POWO 2023), and a few species were added by recent studies in Thailand (Kwanjai et al. 2018) and the Philippines (Bustamante and Pelser 2022). In Vietnam, five species were previously reported (Zhang et al. 2007; Bui and Nguyen 2015; Ton et al. 2019), which are listed below together with the newly discovered species.
During botanical fieldwork in November 2022 in limestone areas of Bac Kan Province in northern Vietnam, we collected several specimens sharing the above-mentioned generic characteristics of Ridsdalea, but morphologically different from all species hitherto known by a number of unique characteristics. After consulting relevant literature (Thunberg 1776; Pitard 1923; Tirvengadum 1983; Shui et al. 2003; Zhang et al. 2007; Bui and Nguyen. 2015; Wong and Pereira 2016; Kwanjai et al. 2018; Ton et al. 2019; Bustamante and Pelser 2022), as well as examining available herbarium specimens stored at HN, HNPI, HNU, K, LE, P, VNF, and VNM, we identified our plants as a new species on the basis of the morphological features indicated in the identification key and diagnosis, and protologue. With the new data reported here, the number of species of the genus Ridsdalea in the flora of Vietnam reaches six. The paper aims at formally recognizing the novelty, with a key to the Vietnamese species and a briefly annotated checklist.
Materials and methods
All collected and studied herbarium specimens of the newly discovered species are presently stored in the herbaria of the Vietnam National University of Forestry (VNF) and the Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (LE). Color photos of plants were taken in natural habitats. Morphological observations and measurements were made on living plants, dried specimens, and alcohol-preserved materials. Morphological characters were described using the terminology proposed by Harris and Harris (2006), Hickey and King (2000), and Beentje (2016). Institutes where studied specimens are kept are indicated by their internationally accepted herbarium acronyms (Thiers 2024).

Description.
Large shrubs to small, medium or large trees with unarmed trunk and branches. Branches opposite and decussate on the trunk, sympodial in development. Leaves opposite or verticillate in groups of 2–3, each trifoliate group based on a distal node with only one leaf normally developed and the proximal node with a pair of normal leaves; leaves petiolate to subsessile, axils of the midrib, secondary veins, and sometimes other vein junctions frequently with domatia on the abaxial leaf surface; margin entire. Stipules interpetiolar, without distinct venation, free or hardly fused at the base, persistent to caducous, inner surface hairy with colleters restricted to 1–several rows. Inflorescence terminal or pseudoaxillary (terminal in origin, later appearing lateral because of displacement to one side during sympodial branch development), distinctly cymose, several-flowered or sometimes reduced to a 1-flowered structure, distinctly pedunculate to subsessile. Flowers bisexual, pedicellate or sometimes subsessile, small or large with corolla tube less than 15 cm long. Calyx 5–8(–10)-lobed, colleters present in small groups on the inner surface, glabrous or glabrescent to hairy on the outside. Corolla commonly 5-, rarely 6–8-merous; hypocrateriform or campanulate; the tube white or white with reddish purple speckles or blotches inside, the outer and inner surface glabrous or hairy; lobes contorted to the left in the flower bud; stamens attached at the upper part of the corolla tube, anthers sessile or subsessile, linear or narrowly lanceolate; style shorter than, as long as, or slightly exceeding the corolla tube, mostly glabrous; stigma clavate to fusiform, 2-lobed, smooth to somewhat ribbed; ovary 2-celled; ovules many; placentation axile. Mature fruits baccate, indehiscent, globose or broadly ellipsoid, 2–5 cm across, 2-locular, outer surface smooth. Seeds many, immersed in a dark brown pulp-like placental tissue (Chen and Taylor 2011; Wong and Pereira 2016).
32 species in Myanmar, SW China, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malacca Peninsula. Indonesia, Philippines, New Guinea. In Vietnam 6 species (2 endemic, found in Bac Kan and Lam Dong provinces).

Distribution.
The new species is only known from Nam Mau Commune, Ba Be District (in the limits of the territory of Ba Be National Park), Bac Kan Province, northeastern Vietnam. It is likely endemic to a very limited area of karstic rocky limestone associated with Ba Be National Park. This location lies near the northeast border of the generic area in Indochina.
Habitat.
Primary and old secondary dry evergreen broad-leaved forest with domination of Burretiodendronhsienmu Chun & F.C.How, Streblusasper Lour., and Arengapinnata (Wurmb) Merr. on crystalline highly eroded rocky limestone at elevations of 150–300 m a.s.l., commonly on shady rocky steep slopes or in rocky valleys between limestone hills. Occasional.
Phenology.
Flowering from November to December, fruiting from December to January next year.
Preliminary IUCN conservation status.
Only two subpopulations were discovered on rocky karstic limestone in the middle part of Ba Be National Park, with few mature trees. The species meets the following conditions (Red List IUCN 2023): extent of occurrence (EOO) < 100 km^2^ (B1) and area of occupancy (AOO) < 10 km^2^ (B2) with one known location (a), and continuing decline of quality of habitat (b). We estimate that in the two subpopulations currently known, fewer than 50 mature individuals occur. These conditions identify the conservation status of the new species as globally Critically Endangered CR B1ab(iii) + B2ab(iii) As a result, Ridsdaleabackanensis deserves the highest priority for conservation.
Notes.
The new species is most similar in its morphology to Ridsdaleadaweishanensis described from SE Yunnan (Maguan & Hekou counties) and also reported for NW Vietnam, Lao Cai Province (Zhang et al. 2007; Chen and Taylor 2011; Bui and Nguyen 2015). The new species differs from R.daweishanensis in its height to 22 m tall (vs. height of tree to 15 m), the leaf blades 7–11 cm long and 3–5.5 cm wide (vs. 10–14 cm long, 4–5 cm wide), the 1–3-flowered inflorescences (vs. inflorescences uniflorous), the 3.5–7 mm long pedicels (vs. pedicels 2–2.5 cm long), the free subulate calyx lobes, tapering from base to apex and broadest at the base, 6.5–11 mm long, without distinct veins (vs. calyx lobes narrowly oblanceolate, broadest above the middle, 14–16 mm long, 1-nerved), the 5–6.5 cm long corolla, sparsely hairy with small sericeous adpressed hairs outside and glabrous inside, contracted at the base into a narrow tube, 7–11 mm long, 2.5–4 mm in diameter (vs. corolla 5–5.5 cm long, entirely glabrous, contracted at the base into 6–7 mm long tube, 5 mm in diameter), the corolla lobes glabrous or sparsely hairy with small sericeous adpressed hairs outside and glabrous inside, 1.2–1.8 cm wide (vs. corolla lobes entirely glabrous, 2.2–2.3 cm wide), the oblanceolate, 2–3 mm wide anthers (vs. anthers linear, about 1.5 mm wide), and the globular to broadly ellipsoid or ovoid fruits, containing 15–65 seeds (vs. fruits globular, containing fewer than 20 seeds).
The newly discovered plant species will doubtless be of considerable interest for cultivation as an ornamental, since it is a nice-flowering tree that may be effectively used for gardens and urban green architecture.
