Xantolisweimingii sp. nov. (Sapotaceae) is described and illustrated from Yunnan, southwest China. The new species is morphologically most similar to X.tomentosa (Roxb.) Raf., but differs from the latter in the ovate or obovate leaves, entirely glabrous corollas, lanceolate, ca. 5 mm long staminodes, fringed at the base. We provided a distribution map and a preliminary conservation assessment for the new species. Additionally, an updated dichotomous key to all known species of Xantolis is presented.
