根據模式標本比對說明Ajugaformosana Hay.和Paraphlomis parv!/lora Wu & Li (小花假糙蘇)為同一種植物，前者發表較早為有效的合法名。作者根據花部特徵將Ajuga formosa叫新組合成Paraphlomis formosana (Hay.) Hsieh & Huang， comb. nov (台灣假糙蘇)。根擴外部形態及花粉形態，說明產於台灣的台灣假糙蘇和產於中國大陸的纖細假糙蘇(P.gracilis (Hemsl. )Kudo)搞不同的種o本文並首次報導台灣假糙 蘇的染色體數閏2n= 34 0

The relationship，s among Ajuga fonnosana Hay.， Paraphlomis gracilis (Hems!) Kudo and P parviflora Wu & Lihave been confusing for a long time. Kudo (1929)treated A formosana conspecific with P. gracilis， We accept the generic name Paraphlomis， and we fOUIlid that the Taiwan specimens so named P. gracilis are different from those of mainlanmd Chinese ones all the basis oftheir external and pollen morphology and geographical distribution. Therefore， we propose a new combined name， i.e.， P. formosana (Hay.)Hsieh & Huang， comb. rIOV，for the Taiwan plants. The name of P.parviflora was based on the specimen collected by Suzuki and is considered to be cO!llspecific to p， formosanιThe chromosome number of P. formosana (2n= 34) is also reported.
