Although the family is important, so far in Vietnam, there was not a full taxonomy system and a key to genera of this family.</p> <p>We have based on the Radlkofer system (1932), Muller &amp; Leenhouts' supplement (1976) and Takhtajan's supplement (1996) to divide this family in Vietnam into 2 subfamilies, 10 tribus and 25 genera.</p> <p>We have agreed with the combination of the tribu <em>Aphanieae</em> in the tribu <em>Lepisantheae</em> by Muller &amp; Leenhouts (1976) and Takhtajan (1996) and so combined the genera <em>Aphania</em>, <em>Erioglossum</em>, <em>Otophora</em> in the genus <em>Lepisanthes</em>. All after, we have constructed the key to 25 genera in Vietnam basing on the vegetative, flower and fruit characters.</p> ER -
