This volume is the 37th issue of the Flora of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam and the second to integrate the Tropical Fauna and Flora series. It gathers the treatments of 2 medium sized families which are quite well diversified in the area. The first one comprises mainly woody species, contrary to the second one which is highly specialized in aquatic life.
Lythraceae comprises about 700 species distributed worldwide, but most of them live in the tropics. Several species rich genera in Southeastern Asia occur in the CLV area, among which Lagerstroemia, best represented with 22 species (out of 55), a genus known worldwide for its ornamental qualities. Following the recent APG results, the family has integrated several genera previously included in distinct families, like Punica (the pomegranate), Sonneratia or Trapa. According to the present updatings, 11 genera and 50 species are presented in this volume. Podostemaceae is also a widely distributed family throughout the tropics. Only a few species reach the very south of Africa. The family comprises a total of about 55 genera and 310 species. In the CLV area, 47 indigenous species in the CLV area, distributed in 11 genera, are part of the present treatment. A detailed general introduction describes the original features of these lithophytic aquatic plants, with emphasis on their morphology and ecology.
Both treatments follow the same format: each genus is briefly described, followed by detailed descriptions of all species in the area. Most species has a distribution map, and illustrations combine line drawings and color photos, highlighting the beautiful flowers of Lythraceae and making the aquatic Podostemaceae easier to identify.
