Mallotus tokiae (Euphorbiaceae), a poorly known species, was described based upon a single fruiting specimen from Surat Thani Province, peninsular Thailand. We found this species with staminate and slightly mature pistillate flowers in Lampi Island, Myanmar. A new locality record, description of flowers, preliminary conservation assessment and DNA barcoding of this species are provided.
