As a consequence of molecular phylogenetic studies, the monotypic genus Primulina has recently been recircumscribed and expanded to include Chirita sect. Gibbosaccus , Chiritopsis Wentsaiboea . Based on analyses ITS sequences apparent morphological similarity, we make further transfers six species ( C. leprosa lijiangensis ningmingensis luochengensis rongshuiensis tiandengensis ) four Ch. danxiaensis hezhouensis jingxiensis longzhouensis that were neglected or published around slightly after these recent taxonomic treatments. The proposed nomenclatural changes one new name, P. pseudolinearifolia nine combinations, addition ten increases number ca. 150 species, making largest morphologically most diverse genera Old World Gesneriaceae.
