“…The family was last revised by Holttum (1970), who recognized six species. Since then about 27 species have been described, mostly from Borneo (e.g., Larsen, 1993;Nagamasu and Sakai, 1999;Pedersen, 2001;Syauqina et al, 2016Syauqina et al, , 2019Poulsen and Leong-Škorničková, 2017;Leong-Škorničková et al, 2021), but also from Peninsular Malaysia (Leong-Škorničková, 2014), Thailand (Jenjittikul and Larsen, 2003), Vietnam (Tr ần and Leong-Škorničková, 2010;Leong-Škorničková et al, 2014;Tr ần et al, 2020) and China (Fang and Qin, 1996;Zou et al, 2017Zou et al, , 2019. Lowiaceae collections are sparse in herbaria, and are likely severely under-collected as the plants are rare and often sterile.…”
