Abstract
A new species, Sonerila bolavenensis (Melastomataceae), from the Bolaven Plateau, southern Laos, is described and illustrated. Sonerila bolavenensis is easily recognized by its tiny stature up to 3 cm tall (including inflorescence), small ovate to rounded leaves 0.3–1.4 × 0.35–1 cm, petioles 0.2–0.8 cm long, and 1-flowered inflorescence. A vernacular name and preliminary conservation status are provided.
期刊介绍:
Thai Forest Bulletin (Botany) (TFB) publishes papers on plant taxonomy (especially of vascular plants), nomenclature, phylogeny, systematics, plant geography, and floristics, and in morphology, palynology, cytotaxonomy, chemotaxonomy, anatomy and other relevant disciplines. Priority is given to papers written by staff of the Forest Herbarium and by botanists working on the Flora of Thailand project. Limited space is available for other relevant papers. TFB is published twice a year, usually in June and December. Two free copies of the issue in which the manuscript is published are given to each author. The journal makes no page charges. All manuscripts are peer reviewed. Manuscripts are considered on the understanding that their contents have not appeared, or will not appear, elsewhere in the same or abbreviated form.
