Specimens examined.

Thailand: Narathiwat Province, Kaluwotai, Khao Chana, 21 Sep 1985, C. Niyomdham et al. 1065 (AAU, BKF); Waeng district, T. Insura 77 (KUFF); idem, T. Insura 78 (KUFF); idem, T. Insura 90 (KUFF); idem, A. F. G. Kerr 14474 (BM); idem, S. Phusomsaeng 389 (BKF).

Notes.

The name A. grandifolius is misapplied by Chalermglin (2001), Thongpairoj (2008, as " A. grandiflorus ") and Insura (2009), for which the name A. byrsophyllus should be applied; A. grandifolius sensu King is restricted to Peninsular Malaysia. Artabotrys byrsophyllus can be distinguished from A. grandifolius by reference to its leathery leaves, reticulate tertiary leaf venation that is indistinct on both surfaces, shorter petals (outer petals 13-16 mm vs. ca. 21 mm; blade of inner petals ca. 8 mm vs. 16-17 mm) and subsessile monocarps with marked apiculum.
