Abstract

Abstract : During preparation of a revision of the genus Eranthemum (Acanthaceae), it became evident that nine specimens from eastern and south‐eastern floristic regions of Thailand and southern Laos represent a new species which is herein described, illustrated and given the name E. decumbens . The new species has affinities to E. strictum and E. roseum . A key to the species of Eranthemum occurring in Thailand is provided, together with ecological data, distribution map and conservation status.
