Based on specimen examination and field observation, both Mussaenda henryi Hutch. and M. elongata Hutch. were transferred from Mussaenda to Schizomussaenda. A new combination, Schizomussaenda henryi (Hutch.) X.F.Deng & D.X.Zhang, was made for Mussaenda henryi Hutch. Mussaenda elongata Hutch. and Schizomussaenda dehiscens (Craib) H.L.Li were reduced to synonymy of S. henryi.
