Description
Summary:Dysoxylum mollissimum (Spreng.) Blume ex G. Don is a new record for the flora of Vietnam. This species is distributed in primary and secondary forests in scattered populations at elevations of 800–1200 m above sea level in the provinces of Gia Lai and Lam Dong in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It is most similar to Dysoxylum loureiri (Pierre) Pierre in the characters of general vegetative habit and the shape of the leaves, calyx, petals, and stamens. The investigated taxon is closely related to Didymocheton mollissimus (Spreng.) Mabb., a synonym of Dysoxylum mollissimum (Spreng.) Blume ex G. Don, in all three clustering methods used. This indicates that the investigated taxon belongs to Dysoxylum mollissimum (Spreng.) Blume ex G. Don and can be considered an ecological variety of this species.
