Abstract

During preparation of the account of the genus Millettia (Fabaceae: Faboideae) for the Flora of Thailand, some new field collections and specimens from herbaria were found to represent three new species, and here they are described and illustrated with a distribution map. Lectotypes of Millettia names are designated for nine species, five new synonyms of Millettia are proposed and Millettia tecta is raised to species status.
