Abstract
A new species of Paraboea (Gesneriaceae), P. khotamiae, from a limestone karst in central Laos, is described and illustrated. The species resembles Paraboea bintangensis, P. prazeri and P. robusta, but differs in leaf shape and floral features, especially corolla shape and size, the interior of the corolla tube, and capsule characters. In addition, we report the occurrence of Middletonia reticulata (Gesneriaceae) for the flora of Laos for the first time.
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.
