%X We analyzed the differences among nearest related <em>Littledalea tibetica, L.racemosa</em> and <em>L.przevalskyi</em> in the genus <em>Littledalea</em> by morphological observation and anatomical analysis of leaf epidermises. There was very slight disparity between <em>L.tibetica</em> and <em>L.racemosa</em> in external morphology, the classification of the two species is very difficult, and the differences between <em>L.tibetica</em> and <em>L.przevalskyi</em> are distinct, the two taxa are two different species. Anatomically, the most features of <em>L.tibetica</em> are consistent with or similar to that of <em>L.racemosa</em>, while for <em>L.przevalskyi</em>, the discontinuity of characters between them is obviously present. Therefore, <em>L.tibetica</em> and <em>L.racemosa</em> should belong to the same species, and <em>L.tibetica</em> can be classified to synonymy of <em>L.racemosa</em>.
