Abstract:

A revision of the Chinese species of Androsace updates our knowledge of
the genus by providing a brief historical survey, character analysis, discussion on gene-
ric relationships and geographical distribution, and a key to species currently recogni-
zed. For the sake of completeness, the key is supplemented by an enumeration, and a
record of the known distribution of each species.  Furthermore, some specimen citations
and additional notes on species previously very incompletly known are also included.
Seven new species and two infraspecific taxa are described.

Key words: Androsace, Revision
