Abstract

Dendrolobium includes seven species and eight taxa in Thailand, viz. D. baccatum, D. lanceolatum (var. lanceolatum and var. microcarpum), D. olivaceum, D. rugosum, D. thorelii, D. triangulare and D. umbellatum. Four names are lectotypified, including Lespedeza lanceolata, Desmodium wallichii, Desmodium cephalotoides and Desmodium umbellatum var. costatum. Two names are reduced to synonymy, i.e., Lespedeza cambodiana under Dendrolobium lanceolatum and Dendrolobium rugosum var. moniliferum under Dendrolobium rugosum.
