56677D5BCCEE5B85AF202E4DE1472B98.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Paraphlomis anisochila is morphologically similar to P. seticalyx and P. yingdeensis, but differs from the former in having an obovate to subcircular (vs. broadly ovate) lamina, 0.5 – 2.5 cm (vs. 3.5 – 9 cm) long petioles, unequal (vs. subequal) corolla lips, and subcircular (vs. oblong) lateral lobes of the lower corolla lip, from the latter in having an abaxially sparsely strigose (vs. densely villous) lamina, an acuminate (vs. bristle-like-acuminate) apex of calyx tooth, and a white (vs. yellow) corolla with unequal (vs. subequal) lips. Herbs perennial, 20 – 30 cm tall, erect, stoloniferous. Stems 4 - angled, green to purplish-red, densely retrorse strigose, leafless toward base. Leaves opposite; lamina obovate to subcircular, thick papery, 4 – 10 cm long, 4 – 8.5 cm wide, base cuneate to broadly cuneate, apex obtuse, margin crenate-serrate, adaxially green, densely appressed strigose, abaxially light green, sparsely glandular, sparsely strigose on veins; lateral veins 3 – 4 - paired; petioles 0.5 – 2.5 cm long, densely retrorse strigose. Verticillasters many-flowered, globose, ca. 4 cm in diam.; bracteoles lanceolate to subulate, 3 – 5 mm long, densely strigose. Calyx green to purplish red, ca. 8 mm long, densely strigose outside, densely strigose at apex inside, 10 - veined; teeth 5, subequal, triangular, ca. 2 mm long, 2 – 3 mm wide, apex acuminate. Corolla white, 2 – 2.1 cm long, densely villose outside; tube ca. 1.3 cm long, ca. 1.5 mm wide, pubescent annulate inside at 1 / 3 distance from base; 2 - lipped, upper lip oblong, entire, erect, concave, ca. 4 mm long, ca. 3 mm wide; lower lip spreading, 7 – 8 mm long, ca. 6 mm wide, 3 - lobed, medium lobe largest, subcircular, dotted with purple spots, ca. 3.5 – 4.5 mm long, ca. 4 mm wide, lateral lobes semicircular, ca. 1.5 mm long, ca. 3 mm wide. Stamens 4, straight, included, filaments flat, glabrous, anther cells 2, parallel. Style included, glabrous, apex inconspicuously 2 - lobed. Ovary glabrous, apex truncate. Mericarps not seen.	en	Liu, Ang, Chen, Hai-Bo, Zhang, Fan, Chen, Ya-Ping (2025): Paraphlomis anisochila (Lamiaceae), a new species from Hunan, China.

56677D5BCCEE5B85AF202E4DE1472B98.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet “ anisochila ” refers to the distinct corolla morphology of the new species, characterized by significantly unequal upper and lower lips, which differentiates it from other Paraphlomis species that typically possess subequal / equal corolla lips.	en	Liu, Ang, Chen, Hai-Bo, Zhang, Fan, Chen, Ya-Ping (2025): Paraphlomis anisochila (Lamiaceae), a new species from Hunan, China.

56677D5BCCEE5B85AF202E4DE1472B98.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. The new species is currently known only from the Dupangling Natural Reserve in southwestern Hunan Province, China, where it typically inhabits EBLFs along streams at elevations ranging from 550 to 750 m (Fig. 4).	en	Liu, Ang, Chen, Hai-Bo, Zhang, Fan, Chen, Ya-Ping (2025): Paraphlomis anisochila (Lamiaceae), a new species from Hunan, China.
