多鳞藤属(Myrialepis)是棕榈科的一个广布属,广泛分布于缅甸、老挝、越南、泰国、柬埔寨、马来西亚、新加坡和印度尼西亚,生长于低地到山地雨林中,也常见于林缘和次生林地。近期首次在中国云南发现有其新分布,本文对该属的形态及生境特征进行了描述,并编制了中国棕榈藤属的分类检索表。

Myrialepis, a rattan genus of Palmae, is widely distributed in Myanmar, Laos,Vietnam,Cambodia,Thailand,Malaysia,Singapore,and Indonesia. It grows in lowland to montane rainforest and is commonly found along forest margins and in disturbed forest,such as clearings,landslips,road cuts,and river banks. Here we report on a new distribution record of Myrialepis in Yunnan,China. The morphological and habitat characteristics of the genus are described,and a key to rattan genera in China has been compiled.
