03EC36759FC251419DF3BCF248CF3EAE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Paraphlomis leigongshanensis is morphologically most similar to P. jiangyongensis but can be distinguished by its calyx purplish red (vs. green), apex of calyx teeth lanceolate (vs. acute), corolla white with pink stripes (vs. pale yellow with red spots), and corolla tube 12 – 17 mm long (vs. 7.5 – 10 mm long).	en	Yao, Wei-Hao, Jiang, Guo-Bin, Yu, De-Hui, Chen, Sheng, Chen, Hong-Mei, Dai, Li, He, Bai-Qiu, Li, He (2025): Paraphlomis leigongshanensis (Lamiaceae), a new species from Guizhou, China.

03EC36759FC251419DF3BCF248CF3EAE.taxon	distribution	Distribution, habitat and conservation status. Paraphlomis leigongshanensis is currently known from only three populations in adjacent valleys approximately 100 m apart, within Leigong Mountain National Nature Reserve, Guizhou, China (Appendix 2: Fig. A 1). The total population comprises about 200 mature individuals. The species occurs in the subtropical monsoon climate zone, with populations confined to the area near Getou Village, and is vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances. Based on the IUCN Red List criteria B 2 (a, b (iii )) (extent of occurrence <500 km 2; <5 locations; continuing habitat degradation), D (Estimated population size <250 mature individuals), we proposed an Endangered (EN) assessment (IUCN 2024). Since similar adjacent habitats may harbor undiscovered populations, available evidence did not support Critically Endangered (CR) status.	en	Yao, Wei-Hao, Jiang, Guo-Bin, Yu, De-Hui, Chen, Sheng, Chen, Hong-Mei, Dai, Li, He, Bai-Qiu, Li, He (2025): Paraphlomis leigongshanensis (Lamiaceae), a new species from Guizhou, China.
