Rana wuyiensis, the Wuyi brown frog, is a species of true frog that was discovered in the Wuyi Mountains, China. [1]
Etymology
The name Rana wuyiensis stems from where it was collected (its type locality), which was on the Wuyi Mountain in the Fujian Province, China. [1] The suffix "-ensis" approximately means "originated in" which is the standard suffix when naming an organism after their place of origin. [2]
