Abstract

We here reported a newly recorded Piper species for the flora of Vietnam, namely Piper ribesioides Wall. (Piperaceae). This species is most morphologically similar to P. politifolium C.DC. by sharing glabrous plants and fruits with a stipe, but it differs from the latter having a monoecious habit (vs. dioecious), stamens 4 (vs. 2), and a cordate leaf base with equal or subequal lobes (vs. oblique with unequal lobes). Descriptions, illustrations, information on ecology, and taxonomic notes of the species is provided.

Keywords: New record, Piper, Vietnam
