Notes.

Hiptage comprises 47 currently accepted species (39 threatened species; Suppl. material 1) of lianas endemic to rainforests and seasonally dry tropical forests of Southeast Asia ( Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam) and Oceania ( Fiji; POWO 2024). There is no updated identification key for all species of Hiptage , but for regional treatments, see Srivastava (1997) for India, Sirirugsa (1991) for Thailand, Chen and Funston (2008) for China, and Lim (2017) for Malaysia.
