Description

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.

SPECIMEN EXAMINED.— Misamis Oriental Province. Mt. Balatukan near Gingoog City, on tree trunk, 22 Oct 2005, Padayao 22 b (CMUH 02, UC).
