Abstract

Smilax bockii is proposed as an accepted name, and S. septemnervia is treated as a new synonym of S. seisuiensis. Smilax bockii and S. seisuiensis are reported as new records from Laos and Thailand, respectively. The lectotypes of S. bockii and S. stemonifolia are designated. Detailed descriptions, taxonomic notes, photographs and a distribution map are provided.
