In a field trip to Thailand in May 2014, we collected an unknown taxon of the tribe Vernonieae of Aste-raceae. Similar specimens were also collected in an expedition to Yunnan, China in April 2017. We identified these specimens as Centratherum punctatum Cass. subsp. fruticosum (S. Vidal) K. Kirkman ex Shih H. Chen, M. J. Wu & S. M. Li, a genus and a subspecies not previously recorded in the mainland of Southeast Asia. Centratherum Cass. but a tropical genus distributed in tropical America, Australia and Philippines (Kirkman, 1981). C. punctatum subsp. fruticosum is native to Philippines and can be distinguished from the other taxa of this genus by its leaf blade rhombic to elliptic, leaf margins irregularly serrate, leaf apex broadly acute, and phyllaries indurate at base and not awned (Kirkman, 1981; Chen et al., 1999).

Based on the specimens collected during the flo-wering phase, we provided the description as below.

In Asia, Centratherum punctatum Cass. subsp. fruticosum (S. Vidal) K. Kirkman ex Shih H. Chen, M. J. Wu & S. M. Li was recorded in Taiwan (Chen et al., 1999) and West Bengal (Chowdhury & Das, 2012). But it has never been recorded in the mainland of Southeast Asia. Besides the present distribution sites (Southwest China and North Thailand), it could also possibly be discovered in the nearby places (like Myanmar) in the future. It may be dispersed to the continent of Southeast Asia by flower trade, as marketing information about it can be obtained in two big business websites of China (Jingdong, 2018; Taobao, 2018). Hitherto, C. punctatum subsp. fruticosum has not been reported as an invasive species. However, based on our field observations, it could produce an immense number of mature achenes (ca. 150) in one capitulum. In addition, because of the vegetational and climatic similarities between mainland of Southeast Asia and origin distribution (Zhang et al., 2017), close attention should be paid to its potential dispersal.

Note:Centratherum fruticosum was validly published by Vidal (1886) with indicating a single gathering (Vidal 1502). Quisumbing (1958, in sched.) labeled one specimen of this gathering (MA［No. MA728008］) as “type”, the other (A［No. A00004641］ as “isotype”, but no effective publication was found. According to Art 7.9 and 9.5 of ICN (McNeill et al., 2012), these three specimens from a single gathering should be treated as syntypes. In 1906, Elmer used the name C. fruticosum S. Vidal by giving a full and direct refe-rence, and cited the specimens Cuming 1556 and Elmer 5956. In 1981 Kirkman established the new combination C. punctatum Cass. subsp. fruticosum (Elmer) K. Kirkman based on the incorrect author and reference citation. In addition, Kirkman designated Cuming 1556 (G［No. G00223244］) as lectotype of C. punctatum Cass. subsp. fruticosum (Elmer) K. Kirkman and described it only in English. According to the Art 39.1, 41.5 and 41.8(d) of ICN (McNeill et al., 2012), as a new taxon name, C. punctatum subsp. fruticosum K. Kirkman was invalidly published because of no Latin description or diagnosis. Hence, the new combination C. punctatum subsp. fruticosum (Elmer) K. Kirkman was invalidly published because of the indirect reference. In 1999, Chen et al. cited Kirkman’s publication but clearly indicated the correct basionym C. fruticosum S. Vidal with a full and direct reference. Hence, C. punctatum Cass. subsp. fruticosum (S. Vidal) K. Kirkman ex Shih H. Chen, M. J. Wu & S. M. Li was the valid name. The result is coincident with that of Chowdhury & Das (2012).
