Brongn., Trachelospermum brevistylum Hand.-Mazz. and Zingiber hainanense Y. S. Ye, L. Bai & N. H. Xia; and the two naturalised species are Alysicarpus ovalifolius (Schumach.) J. Léonard and Melothria pendula L. This is the first time the genera Aphanamixis Blume and Melothria L. have been recorded in the territory. Notes on distribution, habitat, phenology, taxonomy and key diagnostic features are provided.
