Summary

A revision of the endemic Thai genus Santisukia Brummitt (Bignoniaceae) is presented. Its two species, S. kerrii (Barnett & Sandwith) Brummitt and S. pagetii (Craib) Brummitt are described with updated descriptions, conservation assessments and an identification key, as well as studies of the species’ leaf and wood anatomy. Radermachera pagetii (basionym of S. pagetii) is lectotypified here. Anatomical characters can be used to distinguish the two species: S. kerrii has bifacial leaves and its wood has heterocellular rays, mostly biseriate, with the procumbent cells typically up to 25 cells long, but S. pagetii has unifacial leaves and its wood has heterocellular rays, mostly triseriate, with the procumbent cells typically up to 10 cells long.
