Abstract

Two new Mallotus species are described. Both belong to section Axenfeldia. M. hispidospinosus has a very characteristic fruit indumentum. M. viridis closely resembles M. brevipetiolatus but differs in the greenish-drying leaves with numerous glandular scales on the lower leaf surface, and in the slightly longer petiole. The two new Sauropus species belong to different sections. S. poomae with its long, ramiflorous inflorescences, belongs to section Schizanthi and S. temii with its typical staminate flowers and ovate to elliptic leaves, should be classified in section Hemisauropus.
