Abstract
During our Co-sponsored Project with the Herbarium of Komarov Botanical Institute, St. Petersburg, we investigated the S. Yano's specimens collected in Taiwan from 1896 to 1897. Among those of more than 400 specimens, we have found one Lysimachia that might be a new taxon to Taiwan. After literature surveying and examining the related specimens in several herbaria in Taiwan, this specimen was identified as L. candida Lindl., and was recognized to be a new record species to Taiwan. The species is also believed to be extinct since the earlier 1900s. This report gives taxonomic descriptions and palynological characters. A key for the species of the genus Lysimachia in Taiwan is also provided to facilitate identification.
