A new species of Lauraceae, Cryptocarya kaengkrachanensis M.Z. Zhang, Yahara \& Tagane, from Kaeng Krachan National Park, Phetchaburi Province, southwestern Thailand, is described and illustrated. This species is morphologically most similar to C. amygdalina in that its leaves are pinnately veined, leathery, and apparently glabrous (but microscopically hairy) abaxially, twigs are yellowish brown hairy, and fruits are 1.36 to 1.85 times longer than width. However, C. kaengkrachanensis is distinguished from C. amygdalina in having the leaves of ovate and elliptic (vs. oblong-lanceolate) with leaf aspect ratio (length:width) from 1.38 to 2.28 (vs. 2.46\–3.43), and ovoid fruits (vs. ellipsoid) with stalk distinctly swollen (vs. not or only slightly swollen). In addition, phylogenetic trees constructed based on internal transcribed spacer sequences (ITS) and genome-wide SNPs using MIG-seq showed that C. kaengkrachanensis is not sister to C. amygdalina and is distinct from all the other Cryptocarya species hitherto recognized in Thailand. Analysis including other species demonstrates that C. floribunda should be a synonym of C. amygdalina, but we recognize C. scortechinii as a distinct species.

A new species of Lauraceae, Mezilaurus revolutifolia F. M. Alves \& P. L. R. Moraes from eastern Bahia, Brazil, is described and illustrated. This is the second species of the genus known to be endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic forest as previously only M. navalium (Allem\ão) Taub. ex Mez was known from this region. M. revolutifolia is distinguished from all other species of the genus by its revolute and glabrous leaves and glabrous racemose inflorescences with glabrous flowers clustered at the tips of the lateral branches.

Alseodaphnopsis maguanensis and A. putaoensis, two new species of Alseodaphnopsis (Lauraceae) from southwestern China (Yunnan Province) and northern Myanmar (Kachin State), are here described and illustrated based on both morphological and molecular evidence. They are morphologically similar to Alseodaphnopsis rugosa and phylogenetically closely related to A. rugosa and A. hainanensis respectively. Their preliminary conservation status is also estimated according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.

An account of the genus Hexapora (Lauraceae) is presented. It comprises morphological descriptions of the genus and species, a provisional IUCN conservation assessment, ecological information and taxonomic notes. The morphology of the genus is compared to that of a number of possible close relatives, leading to the conclusion that it most likely belongs within the Beilschmiedia clade, and is likely closely related to Sinopora.

ABSTRACT

A taxonomical revision was carried out for species of Persea (Lauraceae) in Venezuela from vouchers deposited at Venezuelan and foreign herbaria. Twenty-four species, including one new species and two new varities, new registers to Venezuela, expansion of distribution, distribution maps, and updated key for species at north and south of Orinoco River are reported. Descriptions in natural language and an interactive key for identification were obtained using Delta Software.
