794FD8F46DEC525E87547E95940F223F.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Based on the collection records over the past 138 years (since 1884, J. M. Delavay 1037, P) as well as our recent field investigation, the new species is narrowly distributed in Cangshan Mountain (Dali City and Yangbi Yi Autonomous County) and the north part of Gaoligong Mountains (Gongshan Derung and Nu Autonomous County) in Nujiang River and Dulong River divide. However, A. mollis has a broader distribution range. It is distributed in the north part of Biluo Snow Mountain (H. R. E. Handel-Mazzetti 8896 E, K, WU; J. F. Rock 8733 E, K, SYS, US; K. M. Feng 6580, 6644 KUN; T. T. Yu 22293 KUN) and west of Meri Snow Mountain (J. F. Rock 23239 K, KUN, SYS, US) in Lancang River and Nujiang River divide and from the north part of Gaoligong Mountains in Nujiang River and Dulong River divide (J. F. Rock 21964 K, SYS, US) to the southeast Xizang (J. F. Rock 22522 K) and Upper Burma (F. K. Ward 6963 K). Both the new species and A. mollis are distributed in the north part of Gaoligong Mountains. But no sympatric populations have been observed. The distribution area of A. mollis is more northerly than the new species. The habitats of these two species are also different. The new species grows under fir forest or Rhododendron thickets at 3000 - 4000 m a. s. l., while A. mollis grows on alpine meadow at 3800 - 4400 m a. s. l.	en	Xu, Yuan, Yan, Hai-Fei, Hao, Gang (2022): Further clarification on Androsace mollis Hand. - Mazz.
