Abstract

  In Thailand, three genera of the family Anastrophyllaceae L.Söderstr., De Roo & Hedd. have been reported. Of these, Plicanthus R.M.Schust., has been recently revised and two species including P. birmensis (Steph.) R.M.Schust., P. hirtellus (F.Weber) R.M.Schust. have been confirmed. To complete the study of Anastrophyllaceae in Thailand, a key to three genera and a description and illustrations of the members of Anastrophyllum (Spruce) Steph. and Schizophyllopsis Váňa & L.Söderstr. as well as ecology and geographical distribution are provided.
