    Abstract

    Callicarpa (Verbenaceae) of Taiwan is revised. Ten species and two varieties are included. A new variety Callicarpa formosana Rolfe var. glabrata Chen, Chaw ＆ Yang is described. Callicarpa tikusikensis Masamune, a species neglected or insufficiently known by many authors, is recovered. Callicarpa remotiflora Lin ＆Wang is a distinct species from Callicarpa remotiserrulata Hayata; previously they were treated as identical. Callicarpa dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch is treated as a doubtful species. Callicarpa japonica Thunb. var. japonica is regarded not occuring in Taiwan.
