A new species, Chamaeanthus averyanovii is described from Vietnam. It resembles C. brachystachys in many features but can be differentiated on the basis of leaves and morphological details of flower. The manuscript presents description, illustrated color plate and data on its phenology, ecology, and distribution. Morphological resemblance of the new species with allied species is also discussed. Additionally, two names, Biermannia canhii and B. longicheila are transferred to Chamaeanthus.
