Abstract:

In 1926, based on a specimen (Poilane 3846) collected from Vietnam,
F. Pellegrin described a new species of the genus Hemiboea. Recently, after dis-
secting a flower of the holotype we realized that this species was erroneously
placed  in  Hemiboea,  differring  from  the  latter  in  a  series  of important
morphological characters, and in fact represents a new genus (Deinostigma) of
the tribe Didymocarpeae, which is described in the present paper.

Key words: Deinostigma, new genus, new combination, Gesneriaceae, Vietnam
