Abstract:After examining the type material and comparing to some other species of Dyschoriste Nees and Strobilanthes Blume on pollen and flower morphology, it reveals that Dyschoriste sinica H. S. Lo is a member of Strobilanthes as S. sinica (H. S. Lo) Y. F. Deng. Strobilanthes sinica belongs to Championella group of Strobilanthes and is related to Strobilanthes japonica (Thunb.) Miq., but differs in its procumbent habits, oblong-elliptic, subsessile leaves and solitary flowers in leaf axils. The genus Dyschoriste is no longer distributed in China.
