“…In Thailand, the Boraginales (following Luebert et al 2016) includes Boraginaceae s. str. (four genera and eight species), Coldeniaceae (one species), Cordiaceae (one genus, 12 species), Ehretiaceae (three genera, 11 species) and Heliotropiaceae (three genera, 12 species) (Ruengsawang and Chantaranothai 2009, 2010, Rueangsawang et al 2019). During the preparation of Ehretiaceae for the Flora of Thailand, collections from limestone hills and mixed deciduous forests near a trail to a waterfall in the provinces of Kanchanaburi, Phetchaburi and Tak did not match with any of the known species of Ehretia .…”
