There was a mistake in Figure 8 as published. Some distribution points on the previous figure were indicated. The corrected Figure 8 appears below.

Distribution map of known localities of occurrence for species of Beesia.

Map showing geographic distributions of three Beesia species in China. Blue circles represent Beesia calthifolia, purple triangles mark Beesia deltophylla, and green squares indicate Beesia yangii. Regions include Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, and Hunan, outlined with topographic details and latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates.

“A correction has been made to section 4 Discussion, 4.2 Taxonomic treatment, Paragraph 5. The sentence originally stated “Distribution: Three species in China, India and Myanmar.” The corrected sentence states “Distribution: Three species in China and Myanmar.”

A correction has been made to section 4 Discussion, 4.2 Taxonomic treatment, Paragraph 11. The sentence originally stated “Distribution: China, SE Xizang (Mêdog Xian); India, Arunachal Pradesh (upper Siang) Figure 8).” The corrected sentence states “Distribution: China, SE Xizang (Medog Xian) (Figure 8).”

A correction has been made to section 4 Discussion, 4.2 Taxonomic treatment, Paragraph 13. The original paragraph stated “Additional specimens examined: СHINA, Tibet, Mêdog County.

In the acknowledgements, the sentence “we thank Manas Bhaumik (Botanical Survey of India – Industrial Section Indian Museum, Kolkata) and Umeshkumar Tiwari (Botanical Survey of India – Arunachal Pradesh Regional Centre, Itanagar) for clarifying the location of Beesia deltophylla in India” has been corrected to “we thank Manas Bhaumik (Botanical Survey of India – Industrial Section Indian Museum, Kolkata) and Umeshkumar Tiwari (Botanical Survey of India – Arunachal Pradesh Regional Centre, Itanagar) for providing some information on the Beesia deltophylla specimens”.
