Diplospora siamica (Rubiaceae) - a new record for the Flora of Vietnam

“…We conclude that the specimen is Diplospora siamica based on the pubescent branches and leaves, and greenish-white corolla. Since it was previously only known from Thailand and Myanmar (Craib, 1911;Kress et al, 2003;Puff et al, 2005), we here record it as a new record for the Flora of Vietnam.…”

“…To assess the nobility of the new species and confirm distribution records in Laos, we consulted taxonomic literature (Kurz 1873, Gagnepain 1952, Larsen 1968, Larsen & Larsen 1980, 1984, Hô 2000, Kress et al 2003, Newman et al 2007, Chen et al 2010, Mackinder & Clark 2014, Sinou et al 2020, Mattapha et al 2021, 2022 The measurements for the description of the new species are based on the herbarium specimens collected in our field surveys. To compare significant characters of the new species with those of similar ones, seven characters (proportion of bifid part of leaf lamina, type of terminal inflorescence, colour of hairs on pedicels/bracteoles/buds, length of pedicels, length of petal's claw, length of petal's lamina, and presence or absence of hairs on pistils) of Phanera involucellate (Kurz 1873: 72-73) de Wit (1956 and Bauhinia involucrans are observed and measured on digitized herbarium specimens listed in Appendix 1, along with reviewing descriptions in previously published literatures (Kurz 1873, Gagnepain 1952, Larsen 1968, Larsen & Larsen 1980, 1984, Chen et al 2010) (Table 1).…”

The Wollastonia/Melanthera/Wedelia generic complex (Asteraceae: Ecliptinae), with particular reference to Australia and Malesia

“…In Australia and its territories, Du Puy and Telford (1993) adopted the name M. biflora for plants on Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Island, as did Pike and Leach (1997) for Ashmore Reef. Beyond Australia, the name M. biflora has also been used recently by, for example, Fosberg and Renvoize (1980) for Aldabra, Arnold and De Wet (1993) for southern Africa, Wagner and Robinson (2002) throughout its Indo-Pacific range, Kress et al (2003) for Burma, and Beentje and Hind (2005) for tropical east Africa.…”
