Popis: Mimulicalyx is an oligo-genus including two species that are endemic to southwest China. Based on investigation of the rediscovered populations of M. rosulatus and M. paludigenus, examination of herbarium specimens (including types), as well as consultation of protologues and distributions, no obvious morphorlogical differences has been found and we concluded that they are conspecific. Therefore, M. paludigenus is reduced to a synonym of M. rosulatus. Field photographs and an updated morphological description of M. rosulatus are provided.
