Flora of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam – Fagaceae

[Updated June 2025] Welcome! These pages are the project site for the new Flore du Cambodge, du Laos et du Viêtnam – edition Fagaceae. It has been over 70 years since a treatment on Fagaceae of the Indochina region has been published. With support from theMuséum national d’histoire naturelle (MNHN) and theFranklinia Foundation, a major inventory and revision of existing collections is carried out. A completely reworked taxonomic treatment is slated for 2026 and will be released as part of the “Tropical Flora and Fauna Program” of the Museum.

Rewriting and updating a family of the size of Fagaceae in the Indochina region is a substantial undertaking. We invite anyone able to assist in the localization of specimens in the field or herbaria, and contribution of images, drawings and other materials to contact us through thecontact page. Thank you very much in advance!
