Abstract

A revision of the genus Rotheca in Thailand is presented. Three species are enumerated including one endemic and one introduced species. The new combination Rotheca vanprukii (Craib) C. Leeratiwong & P. Chantaranothai is made. Two taxa, C. farinosum Wall. ex Walp. var. pubescens ((H.R. Fletcher) C. Leeratiwong & P. Chantaranothai and C. serratum (L.) Moon var. amplexifolium Moldenke are reduced to be the synonymy of R. serrata (L.) Steane & Mabb. A key to species, morphological, ecological and distributional data, vernacular names and some illustrations are provided.
