“…Notes.-Middletonia reticulata is here newly recorded for the flora of Laos. It was reported to be endemic to Thailand by Puglisi & Middleton (2017) but they also predicted its likely occurrence in Laos and Myanmar.

“…In this paper, we describe the new species Paraboea khotamiae Phonep. & Souvann., the third species of this genus known for the flora of Laos (Xu et al, 2008;Newman et al, 2017-, continuously updated), and also report the occurrence of Middletonia reticulata (Barnett) C.Puglisi in central Laos, the third species of Middletonia C.Puglisi recorded for the country (Puglisi & Middleton, 2017).…”

“…Currently five species have been recognised from India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia (Puglisi et al, 2016). The diagnostic traits of Middletonia are the erect anthers in Middletonia (vs borne at a right angle in Paraboea); minutely glandular indumentum on the anthers and ovary; and reticulate tertiary veins, which are visible at least along the leaf margin; generally smaller corolla, and shorter fruits (Puglisi & Middleton, 2017). In Laos, two species of Middletonia have been recorded, M. evrardii (Pellegr.)…”

A new species of Paraboea (Gesneriaceae), P. khotamiae, from a limestone karst in central Laos, is described and illustrated. The species resembles Paraboea bintangensis, P. prazeri and P. robusta, but differs in leaf shape and floral features, especially corolla shape and size, the interior of the corolla tube, and capsule characters. In addition, we report the occurrence of Middletonia reticulata (Gesneriaceae) for the flora of Laos for the first time.

Biogeography and evolution of Asian Gesneriaceae based on updated taxonomy

Based on an updated taxonomy of Gesneriaceae, the biogeography and evolution of the Asian Gesneriaceae are outlined and discussed. Most of the Asian Gesneriaceae belongs to Didymocarpoideae, except Titanotrichum was recently moved into Gesnerioideae. Most basal taxa of the Asian Gesneriaceae are found in the Indian subcontinent and Indo-China Peninsula, suggesting Didymocarpoideae might originate in these regions. Four species diversification centers were recognized, i.e. Sino-Vietnam regions, Malay Peninsula, North Borneo and Northwest Yunnan (Hengduan Mountains). The first three regions are dominated by limestone landscapes, while the Northwest Yunnan is well-known for its numerous deep gorges and high mountains. The places with at least 25% species are neoendemics (newly evolved and narrowly endemic) which were determined as evolutionary hotspots, including Hengduan Mountains, boundary areas of Yunnan-Guizhou-Guangxi in Southwest China, North Borneo, Pahang and Terengganu in Malay Peninsula, and mountainous areas in North Thailand, North Sulawesi Island. Finally, the underlying mechanisms for biogeographical patterns and species diversification of the Asian Gesneriaceae are discussed.

In recent years significant advances have been made in the taxonomy and classification of the Gesneriaceae, mostly based on molecular-phylogenetic research. This has led to major changes in the classification of the family and the establishment, reestablishment, recircumscription and synonymisation of many genera. Consequently, the treatment of the Gesneriaceae that was published in Kubitzki's Families and Genera of Vascular Plants, with brief descriptions and keys to all genera as well as the formal and informal groups of Gesneriaceae then recognised, has become rather out-of-date in a relatively short period of time. In 2013, a new formal classification of Gesneriaceae was published, with inclusion of Sanango in a third subfamily, reclassification of Gesnerioideae and de-novo-classification of Didymocarpoideae. In the present paper an effort is made to survey all of the taxonomic changes in the Gesneriaceae since the publication of these two treatments. This is done at all levels of the taxonomic hierarchy down to the genus level and new keys for the identification of the current infrafamilial taxa and genera are provided. As the taxonomic concepts of most genera are based on a combination of vegetative, floral and fruit characters, having fertile material is still a prerequisite for unambiguous identification. A glossary is provided to explain botanical terms largely specific to Gesneriaceae taxonomy.

A revision of Middletonia (Gesneriaceae) in Thailand

Abstract: The genus Middletonia in Thailand is revised. We recognise four species, including the newly described Middletonia glebosa C.Puglisi and the resurrected M. reticulata (Barnett) C.Puglisi. A key to the species, full descriptions and proposed conservation assessments are provided.
