lasianthus jack is a large genus of the family rubiaceae with more than 180 species, predominantly in the old world. in tropical asia there are more than 160 species, only one extending to australia. the greatest species diversity is found in tropical asia. the species of the genus occur almost exclusively in the understory of primary forests. there are occasionally records from secondary or seriously disturbed forests or forest edges. lasianthus species are an ecologically important element in tropical forests of asia because they are usually present in large numbers in the forests. the species of the genus also show interesting distribution patterns, which may have significant implications to biogeography of tropical asia and speciation in tropical rain forest.
