A new species, Stephania novenanthera Heng-Chang Wang (Menispermaceae), from Xia-shi, Ping-xiang County, Guangxi Province, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is similar to the sympatric species S. kuinanensis H. S. Lo & M. Yang, S. kwangsiensis H. S. Lo, and S. micrantha H. S. Lo & M. Yang by several characters, such as the tuberous root, the deltoid to rounded leaves, and the compound, umbelliform cymes. Stephania novenanthera differs from all species in Stephania Lour. in China by its nine anthers.
