The phylogenetic analyses showed that Lysimachia liujiangensis belongs to subg. Idiophyton and closely related to L. millietii (H.Lév.) Hand.-Mazz.. However, Lysimachia liujiangensis can be distinguished from L. millietii by its stems densely dark purple-glandular at the top and terete in upper part, leaf blade oblanceolate, pedicel 1.3-2.2 cm long, dark purple-glandular, calyx lobes 5-7 mm long, dark purple-glandular on both sides and margin.
