Abstract

The genus Gomphogyne Griff. has six species in Asia and Malesia. The type species, G. cissiformis Griff., occurs in India, Bhutan, and Yunnan at high elevations. Gomphogyne bonii Gagnep. is
endemic to Vietnam. Three new species are described: G. nepalensis W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes, endemic to Nepal, G. cirromitrata W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes, with f. minor W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes, endemic to Thailand, and G. peekelii W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes, endemic to lowland East Moluccas and New Guinea.
In G. heterosperma (Wall.) Kurz one new form is recognized, f. vittata W.J. de Wilde & Duyfjes, endemic to Thailand. A key to the six species and descriptions of the Thai and Malesian species and G. nepalensis are presented. The pollen morphology of Gomphogyne, Gynostemma, and Hemsleya is presented and
found to be fairly uniform.
