As part of the integrative systematic studies on the tribe Maleae, a synopsis of the expandedRhaphiolepisis presented, recognizing 45 species. Three new forms were validated: R. bengalensis f. contracta B.B.Liu & J.Wen, R. bengalensis f. intermedia B.B.Liu & J.Wen, and R. bengalensis f. multinervata B.B.Liu & J.Wen, and four new combinations are made here: R. bengalensis f. angustifolia (Cardot) B.B.Liu & J.Wen, R. bengalensis f. gigantea (J.E.Vidal) B.B.Liu & J.Wen,R. laoshanica(W.B.Liao, Q.Fan & S.F.Chen) B.B.Liu & J.Wen, andR. latifolia(Hook.f.) B.B.Liu & J.Wen. Furthermore, one new name,Rhaphiolepis yuiB.B.Liu & J.Wen is proposed here, and three taxa were reduced as new synonyms.
