Abstract

Three new species of Hydrobryum (Podostemaceae) from central Laos are described. These species, like most other congeners, share crustose roots, but differ in the characteristics of the bract, spathella, stamen, and/or ovary locule. Their recognition as distinct was supported by molecular phylogenetic analyses. As a result, 16 species of Hydrobryum occur in Laos and 33 species occur throughout southeastern and eastern Asia.
