长冠苣苔属（ Rhabdothamnopsis Hemsley）隶属于苦苣苔科（ Gesneriaceae），由Hemsley于1903年命名建立[1]，为中国特有单种属，仅包括1种1变种，即长冠苣苔（ Rhabdothamnopsis sinensis Hemsley）和黄白长冠苣苔（ R. sinensis var. ochroleuca W. W. Smith）[2-3]。据文献[4-6]记载，其分布于中国-喜马拉雅森林植物区的云南高原地区，是该区特化形成的属。

Based on literature, Rhabdothamnopsis Hemsley is a genus endemic to China, with only one species of Rhabdothamnopsis sinensis Hemsley and one variety of R. sinensis var. ochroleuca W. W. Smith.

However, it is recently found in Changguan Town of Yongshun County of Ⅹiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hu＇ nan Province. This new distribution is not only the first record in Hu＇ nan Province and Wuling Mountain region but also the easternmost distribution reported of Rhabdothamnopsis Hemsley.
