AB -Studies of West Malesian material of the genus Agrostophyllum reveals that three previously described species should be treated as new synonyms of earlier named entities, namely A. arundinaceum Ridl. (= A. cyathiforme J.J.Sm.), A. mearnsii Ames (= A. globiceps Schltr.) and A. wenzelii Ames (= A. glumaceum Hook.f.). However A. formosanum Rolfe is found to be a good species, distinct from A. inocephalum (Schauer) Rchb.f. On the other hand five new taxa have been recognised and are proposed here, namely A. asahanense, A. boeeanum, A. galeandrae, A. maliauense and A. pseudolaxum.
