Abstract

Two newly recorded species of Melastomataceae, Medinilla rubicunda and M. septentrionalis, were found from the Phnom Bokor National Park and the Central Cardamom Protected Forest in Cambodia. Medinilla rubicunda is similar to M. laurifolia from Indonesia (Sumatra and Java) and Thailand, but is readily distinguished from the latter by its shorter petiole and a cyme bearing fewer than six flowers. Medinilla septentrionalis is similar to M. nana from China (Yunnan) and Vietnam, but is clearly distinguished from the latter by its terete branchlets, which have a thin and not a corky bark. Descriptions, photographs, and a diagnostic key of the three species of Cambodian Medinilla are provided for species identification.

야목단과 Medinilla속의 두 종, M. rubicunda, M. septentrionalis를 캄보디아의 Bokor 국립공원과 Central Cardamom 보호림에서 발견하여 캄보디아 미기록종으로 보고하였다. Medinilla rubicunda는 인도네시아(수마트라, 자바)와 태국에 분포하는 M. laurifolia에 비해 엽병과 화서가 짧고, 6개 이하의 꽃이 달리며, M. septentrionalis는 베트남과 중국(운남성)에 분포하는 M. nana에 비해 소지가 원통형이고, 수피는 얇으며 코르크가 발달하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 캄보디아에 새롭게 발견된 Medinilla속 2종의 기재, 사진과 함께 캄보디아 Medinilla속의 검색표를 제시하였다.
