Abstract

We report previously unrecognized flowering plants of Lao PDR found during a botanical survey of Lao PDR in 2015-2016. We found Phyllagathis tuberosa (C. Hansen) Cellinese & S. S. Renner (Melastomataceae) and Tolypanthus pustulatus Barlow (Loranthaceae) in the Phou Khao Khouay National Biodiversity Conservation Area (PKKNBCA), previously only known from type localities in Thailand. This is the first report of Phyllagathis tuberosa and the genus Tolypanthus in the Lao PDR. We also found Lonicera bournei Hemsl. (Caprifoliaceae) in the proposed Phosabous National Protected Area (PNPA) of Xiangkhoang, neglected with regard to the flora of Laos since its initial report in early 20th century. The current report will augment our understanding of the floristic relationships among SE Asian countries and will help elucidate the biodiversity of Lao PDR.

2015-2016년 사이 라오스 식물상을 조사하는 과정에서 발견한 미기록 현화식물을 보고한다. 라오스 푸카오쿠오아이 국가생물다양성보전지구에서 야목단과(Melastomataceae)의 Phyllagathis tuberosa (C. Hansen) Cellinese & S. S. Renner와 꼬리겨우살이과(Loranthaceae)의 Tolypanthus pustulatus Barlow를 발견하였으며, 이들은 태국의 기준표본 채집지 외에는 아직까지 채집된 바 없는 종들로, 라오스에 분포하는 것을 처음으로 확인하였다. 한편, 인동과(Caprifoliaceae)의 Lonicera bournei Hemsl.는 20세기초 라오스에 분포하는 것으로 보고된 바 있으나 이후 채집 기록이 없다가, 라오스 시앙쾅주 포사보국가보호지구에서 다시 발견하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 라오스 및 동남아시아 국가의 식물상 및 그 특성을 규명하는 데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
