ABSTRACT	Authors in the past and today in Taiwan have identified Stachytarpheta urticaefolia (Salisb.) Sims as S. jamaicensis (L.) Vahl. In this paper we clarify the identity of S. urticaefolia for the Flora of Taiwan and further document the recent naturalization of a second species, S. jamaicensis (L.) Vahl, in Taiwan. A taxonomic treatment, line drawings and a map showing the distribution of the two species on this island are presented.
