    Abstract

    Chloranthus, a genus of the Chloranthaceae, comprises about 18 species in the world. In addition to the previously recorded C. oldhami in Taiwan, C. henryi is a new addition to the flora. It is easy to distinguish C. oldhami from C. henryi by the shape of stamen apices, and the existence or absence of styles. In the present work, a key to distinguish the genus Chloranthus in Taiwan, a line drawing, photographs, and distribution of C. henryi are provided.
