Abstract

<p>Meehania urticifolia (Lamiaceae) usually has purple flowers, but occasionally pinkflowered individuals have been reported. Pink-flowered ones have been referred to as f. rubra T.B.Lee, but the name is invalid (ICN Art. 40.1). The correct name for the pink-flowered form is f. rosea J.Ohara. Meehania urticifolia f. rosea is distributed in Japan and Korea, and we collected the forma in Fukui Prefecture, a new locality in Hokuriku District, Honshu, Japan.</p><p>Chromosome number of M. urticifolia f. rosea is counted as 2n = 18, diploid with the basic chromosome number x = 9.</p>
