Abstract

Two new species of Aspidostemon Rohwer & H. G. Richt. (Lauraceae), A. dorrii van der Werff and A. glaber van der Werff, are described. Aspidostemon dorrii differs from related species in its long pedicels and few-flowered inflorescences. Aspidostemon glaber is distinct by virtue of its glabrous condition and profusely branched, many-flowered inflorescences.
