Most species of <jats:italic>Ainsliaea</jats:italic> have been classified into two sections, <jats:italic>A.</jats:italic> sect. <jats:italic>Ainsliaea</jats:italic> and sect. <jats:italic>Aggregatae</jats:italic>, respectively, based on their habit type. However, recent molecular phylogenetic studies have challenged existing infrageneric classifications for <jats:italic>Ainsliaea</jats:italic>, and the systematic value of habit needs to be re‐evaluated because the habits of some key species were described differently, leading to taxonomic controversies on infrageneric classifications and species delimitations. To address these issues, this study reconstructed a more comprehensive phylogeny of <jats:italic>Ainsliaea</jats:italic> with two more samples of the highly variable <jats:italic>A. lancifolia</jats:italic> and a new sampling of <jats:italic>A. nana</jats:italic>. Habit variations in <jats:italic>Ainsliaea</jats:italic> were observed both in the field and in herbarium collections, and habit evolution was reconsidered based on the updated phylogeny. The phylogenetic analysis highly supports that <jats:italic>A. uniflora</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>A. lancifolia</jats:italic> form the first‐ and the second‐earliest diverging lineages in <jats:italic>Ainsliaea</jats:italic>, respectively; <jats:italic>A. nana</jats:italic>, recently rediscovered by us after more than 60 years, constitutes a distinct lineage sister to a large clade with all leaves aggregated above the stem base; and <jats:italic>A. pertyoides</jats:italic> forms another large clade with the rosulate‐leaf species. The latter three species have distinct habits: <jats:italic>A. lancifolia</jats:italic> with leaves sparsely alternate along the stem but often reduced to a basal rosette in rheophytic environments, <jats:italic>A. nana</jats:italic> with leaves aggregated at and also above the same stem base, and <jats:italic>A. pertyoides</jats:italic> with rosulate leaves when young. Thus, two new sections, <jats:italic>A.</jats:italic> sect. <jats:italic>Alternae</jats:italic> sect. nov. and <jats:italic>A.</jats:italic> sect. <jats:italic>Intermediae</jats:italic> sect. nov., are proposed to accommodate <jats:italic>A. lancifolia</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>A. nana</jats:italic>, respectively, and <jats:italic>A. pertyoides</jats:italic> is reasonably kept in <jats:italic>A.</jats:italic> sect. <jats:italic>Ainsliaea</jats:italic>.
