Five rare genera of euphorbiaceae (sensu lato) in the malay archipelago: Alphandia, ashtonia, borneodendron, cladogynos and tapoïdes

Abstract

The Malesian species of five relatively unknown Euphorbiaceous genera are redescribed. Alphandia, Borneodendron, Cladogynos and TapoÃdes, each with one species in Malesia, are part of the Euphorbiaceae in the strict sense; Ashtonia (two species) is presently classified in the Phyllanthaceae. The descriptions have been completed by studying extra material, and high quality drawings are added. ©2012 Copyright Trustees of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
