Hequnia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae. It includes a single species, Hequnia guangxiensis, which is native to southeastern China.[1]
The species was first described as Allocheilos guangxiensis in 2000. A phylogenetic analysis published in 2024 found that the genus Allocheilos was polyphyletic, and authors placed the paraphyletic species A. guangxiensis the new genus Hequnia as A. guangxiensis.[2] The genus was named in honor of He‐Qun Wen (文和群), one of the discoverers of the type species.[3]
