Ardisia bullata G.H. Huang & G. Hao (Primulaceae), a new species endemic to the island of Hainan (southern China), is described and illustrated. It is affiliated to subgenus Bladhia, with A. ramondiiformis, A. silvestris var. silvestris, and especially A. silvestris var. appressa as close allies, but can be distinguished by the character combination of sessile and bullate leaves with an appressed-hirsute abaxial surface, ovate or broadly ovate sepals, and axillary racemose-paniculate inflorescences.
