Zhu, G. †, Li, H. & Li, R.: A synopsis and a new species of the E Asian genus Pinellia (Araceae). — Willdenowia 37: 503–522. — ISBN 0511-9618; © 2007 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. doi:10.3372/wi.37.37209 (available via  http://dx.doi.org/)

The genus Pinellia is endemic to E Asia (China, Korea and Japan) with a centre of diversity in E China (Anhui, Zhejiang and Fujiang). Nine species are recognized, among which P. fujianensis is described as new to science. A key to the species, synonymies, descriptions, taxonomic notes, data on habitats and distribution are given and all species are illustrated.
