Abstract

Taxonomy and geographical distribution of Glyptopetalum sclerocarpum are revised. Type material of this species is analyzed and lectotypification is provided; the specimen from CAL (CAL0000007365) is designated as a lectotype. Distribution area of G. sclerocarpum is circumscribed and a number of inconsistencies found in earlier works are resolved. Occurrence of G. sclerocarpum in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and southern China is confirmed. The presence of this species in Guangxi of China is reported for the first time; its presence and distribution in Vietnam are substantiated by herbarium collections. Map of distribution of G. sclerocarpum and G. vidalii, a poorly known and morphologically similar species, is provided.
