V. hupehense (syn. V. wilsonii) is closely related to this species, described in 1825. Rehder acknowledged the resemblance, giving as the differential character that in V. hupehense the inflorescence-axes and the outside of the corolla are velvety; in V. mullaha the inflorescence is merely downy and the corollas glabrous. This species is a native of the Himalaya from Kashmir eastwards, and of parts of S.E. Asia. It is in cultivation from Ludlow, Sherriff and Hicks 19820, collected in Bhutan.
