Abstract

The Dimocarpus longan Lour. (Sapindaceae) species complex is reevaluated, and D. longan s.l. is divided into three species, of which two are divided into two varieties. Three new combinations, D. cinereus (Radlk.) Boonsuk & Chantar., D. cinereus var. echinatus (Leenh.) Boonsuk & Chantar., and D. scandens (Winit & Kerr) Boonsuk & Chantar., are here proposed. The name Euphoria pallens Pierre is lectotypified.
