Abstract

Two recently discovered species from Phu Quoc National Park in southern Vietnam, Sonerila bokorense S.H. Cho and Y.D. Kim (Melastomataceae) and Erycibe citriniflora Griff. (Convolvulaceae), provide new records for the flora of Vietnam. For each species a taxonomic description is presented, together with information on their distribution, habitat and ecology; color photographs of both species are also given.
