AB -A new record species, Clidemia hirta (L.) D. Don, is reported from Pingtung county, southern Taiwan. This represents the first generic record of Clidemia in Taiwan. Only one C. hirta population was collected in the secondary forest dominated by Acacia confusa Merr., Bambusa stenostachya Hackel etc. It is easy to distinguish this species from the other related taxa by having the lateral veins extending from the leaf base and fruits as berries. A key to the Melastomataceae, the taxonomic treatment, morphological description, line drawing and photographs are provided here.
