Abstract
Potentilla gobica is described as a species new to science from the summit region of the Baytik Shan massif in the SW Mongolian-Chinese borderland. It is characterized by digitate leaves and an entirely glabrous surface, except for small ± sessile glands, of all plant parts. Only one other species entirely lacking eglandular hairs was so far known worldwide, the E Siberian and Mongolian P. sanguisorba, which has, in contrast, pinnate leaves.

Key words: cinquefoil, taxonomy, Mongolian-Chinese borderland, Baytik Shan massif.
