| ABSTRACT |
In addition to Cayratia japonica (Thunb.) Gagnep., the only species previously recorded from Taiwan, we report a second species, C. maritima B. R. Jackes, which was collected from the islet of Lutao. Cayratia maritima is easily distinguished from Cayratia japonica in having three leaflets in mature leaves. The populations from Lutao represent the northern distributional limit of Cayratia maritima, which was previously known from tropical Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. |
