Abstract

Based on an examination of herbarium specimens and fresh materials, it is confirmed that Globba ruiliensis is conspecific with G. multiflora. The former is treated as a synonym of the latter. Globba multiflora is newly recorded from Xizang, China. A lectotype is designated for G. multiflora. Taxonomic notes on this species are also provided.
