9E6687BFFFFAFFD8FC8CFCB5FEFC3750.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. – Oreocharis speciosa is distributed in W Hubei (Enshi city), SW Hunan (Hongjiang county), and S Chongqing [previously E Sichuan] (Nanchuan county). The species grows on shady, damp rocks on slopes, at an altitude ranging from 300 to 1600 m.	en	Chen, Wen-Hong, Shui, Yu-Min, Möller, Michael (2014): Two new combinations in Oreocharis Benth.

9E6687BFFFFAFFD8FC8CFCB5FEFC3750.taxon	discussion	Observations. – In the protologue of Didissandra speciosa, HEMSLEY (1890) lists A. Henry collections in Hubei from Patung, Nanto, Hsingshan and Tunghu, all deposited at K without designating an holotype. Four collections mounted on two herbarium sheets of A. Henry are currently deposited at K: A. Henry 6356 from Nanto [K 000858092] and A. Henry 6411 A from Hsingshan [K 000858093], both mounted on one sheet, and A. Henry 3951 from Nanto [K 000858094] and A. Henry 7668 from Patung [K 000858095], mounted on another. The specimens of A. Henry 6411 A [K 000858093] and A. Henry 6356 [K 000858092] are annotated by Skog as syntypes of D. speciosa. A slightly smaller and atypical plant mounted on the second sheet was annotated “ Oreocharis? sp. C. B. Clarke ”. Another duplicate collection of A. Henry 6411 A [E 00396435] deposited at E is also annotated by Skog as a syntype of D. speciosa. Overall, A. Henry 6411 A represents the more complete and accurate collection of this species and is here designated as the lectotype.	en	Chen, Wen-Hong, Shui, Yu-Min, Möller, Michael (2014): Two new combinations in Oreocharis Benth.

9E6687BFFFFAFFD8FC8CFCB5FEFC3750.taxon	conservation	Conservation status. – Oreocharis speciosa has a wide distribution range across three provinces in South China. Only two populations have been observed by two of the authors (YMS, WHC), one situated in S Chongqing in the Jinfoshan Mountain and one in W Hubei in Enshi in the Suo Bu Ya Stone Forest park (Fig. 1 F-H). There are around hundred mature individuals and many immature plants in each known population, and the total number of individuals would be around 5000. The “ Extent of Occurrence ” (EOO) in Suo Bu Ya is around 100 m 2 and both locations receive some protection due to their occurrence in National Parks. We have not enough information for a definitive conservation assessment, but the species has been proposed by WEI & al. (2010) to be categorized as “ Vulnerable ” [VU A 1 c] following IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN, 2012).	en	Chen, Wen-Hong, Shui, Yu-Min, Möller, Michael (2014): Two new combinations in Oreocharis Benth.

9E6687BFFFF8FFD8FFD6FC8CFE0631AE.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. – Oreocharis dimorphosepala occurs only in Yuanyang County in SE Yunnan. The plants grow at the foot of tree trunks in evergreen forests between 2270 and 2620 m.	en	Chen, Wen-Hong, Shui, Yu-Min, Möller, Michael (2014): Two new combinations in Oreocharis Benth. (Gesneriaceae) from China. Candollea 69 (2): 179-182, DOI: 10.15553/c2014v692a10
9E6687BFFFF8FFD8FFD6FC8CFE0631AE.taxon	conservation	Conservation status. – The situation of O. dimorphosepalus is precarious. YMS and WHC have observed only 13 mature individuals in the field during 2009 - 2012 surveys. The species usually grows on the foot of tree trunks with a very low frequency of occurrence. So far, only three trees have been observed harbouring the plant in Yuanyang County. Thus, we propose to provisionally assess O. dimorphosepalus as “ Critically Endangered ” [CR D] following IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN, 2012).	en	Chen, Wen-Hong, Shui, Yu-Min, Möller, Michael (2014): Two new combinations in Oreocharis Benth.
