A recent phylogenomic analysis has unveiled the first highly resolved phylogeny for the genus Bredia , clarifying long-standing uncertainties in species boundaries among taxonomically debated groups. Based on these findings, we propose a taxonomic revision encompassing the following updates: (1) B. latisepala , B. longearistata , and B. longiradiosa are synonymized under B. esquirolii ; (2) B. dulanica C.L.Yeh, S.W.Chung & T.C.Hsu is incorporated within B. hirsuta ; (3) two new combinations are established, alongside the formal recognition of three new species and one new variety (Suppl. material 1); (4) Bredia bullata S.Jin Zeng & N.H.Xia is regarded as a later homonym and therefore illegitimate name for B. bullata J.H.Dai & Ying Liu. Morphological descriptions, color plates, and updated distribution maps are provided for relevant taxa, supplemented by a key to all recognized Bredia species.
