Abstract
The Asian and Australian taxa of the palaeotropical genus Secamone s. str. (Asclepiadaceae) are revised. S. emetica is recognized in India and Sri Lanka. In southeastern Asia and Australia only one species, S. elliptica, and two subspecies are accepted from more than 40 named taxa. Two new combinations are made, S. elliptica R. Brown subsp. siamica (Kerr) Klack. comb. & stat. nov. and S. elliptica R. Brown subsp. minutiflora (Tsiang) Klack. comb. & stat. nov. Keys, typifications, descriptions and discussions, as well as maps and line-drawings, are given for all taxa. A list of excluded names is provided for the region.
