Description:
Three new species combinations are made under Villaria for the Philippine endemics Hypobathrum
\ncoriaceum, H. multibracteatum and H. purpureum. Morphological features of these three Hypobathrum species
\nrevealed a closer resemblance with Villaria than with Hypobathrum, as the three Philippine endemics possess a
\nunilocular ovary with parietal placentation; a character that is not found in any genera of Octotropideae except in
\nVillaria. Lectotypes and a neotype are selected.
