Three new species of (Lamiaceae) from China are described and illustrated, based on both morphological evidence and our recent phylogenomic studies of the genus. , a herbaceous new species known only from the Fanjing Mountain, is shown to be sister to , but they can be easily distinguished by leaf and inflorescence indumentum, calyx teeth shape and corolla tube morphology. , a herbaceous new species collected from the Hengduan Mountains in southwest China, represents a distinct lineage within the genus. , a shrubby new species also endemic to the Hengduan Mountains, was previously misidentified as , but they are phylogenetically distantly related and differ in lamina size and margin, inflorescence type and corolla length and shape.
