Abstract

This paper reported a newly recorded genus of Lamiaceae in Guangdong, namely Ombrocharis Hand.-Mazz., a monotypic genus containing only the type species, O. dulcis Hand.-Mazz. This species was previously recognized as a rare species endemic to Hunan, but has since been reported successively in Guangxi, Fujian and Guizhou. Recently, a population of this species was found growing along a stream under evergreen broadleaf forest in Guangdong Nanling National Nature Reserve, representing its southernmost population. This new finding is of great significant value for the future study on the geographical distribution, origin and the dispersal of O. dulcis. The voucher specimens are deposited in the herbarium of South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IBSC).

Key words： Lamiaceae; new record; Ombrocharis dulcis; Dadong Mountain
