Abstract

A taxonomic account of the genus Mycaranthes in Thailand is presented based on herbarium specimens and fresh material from field surveys. Five species are recognized including two new species records: M. clemensiae and M. latifolia. A key to the species, descriptions, and illustrations are provided. In addition, lectotypes of Eria clemensiae, E. kingii Hook.f., and Mycaranthes oblitterata are designated here.
