Abstract

Litsea martabanica (Kurz) Hook. f. (Lauraceae) is reported for the first time for the flora of Vietnam. Litsea martabanica can be distinguished from its closest allies, Litsea longistaminata and Litsea panamanja, by having smaller leaves, cylindrical, ellipsoid-cylindrical or ovoid fruits, and smaller and cupshaped perianth tube. A detailed description, important taxonomic notes, and photos are provided.
