Abstract

A synopsis of the native species of Combretaceae in the Malay Peninsula (Peninsular Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore) is presented. A total of 29 species in four genera (Combretum, Getonia, Lumnitzera and Terminalia) are recognised. Keys to genera and species are included with synonymy and typification. In total 63 lectotypifications, three second-step lectotypifications and 11 neotypifications are proposed in the paper.
