2. Dendrocyathophorum paradoxum (Brotherus) Dixon

[ Hypopterygiaceae ]

The genus and the species are easy to identify in the family Hypopterygiaceae . The complanate and dendroid plant with irregular branches and leaves arranged in three rows characterizes Dendrocyathophorum . Treated as a monotypic genus in the recently published Flora of China (English Version) ( Jia et al. 2002), our report extends the local range of D. paradoxum from Luzon to Mindanao in the country. The species has a scattered distribution across tropical and subtropical Asia, including Malesia.
