Abstract: The genus Campanella Henn. is reported from China for the frist time. Two species have been found in tropical and subtropical areas of Southern and Southeastern Yunnan of China. Among them, C. straminea P. G. Liu is a new species, which distinctive character is cheilocystidia provided with capitulate or variform protuberances at the apex; C. cucullata (Jungh.) Lloyd, which mainly distributes in Southeastern Asia and adjacent areas, is new to China. The new species described with latin and the new to China are illustrated in the paper. This paper also discusses the problems of nomenclature on the genus and deals with its geographic distribu-tion as well as the origins; the author suggest that name of the genus Campanella Henn. is valid, it is a pantropic genus and may be originated from tropic areas although a few species distributed in the temperture zones of the Southern and Northern hemispheres.
