The Asiatic genus Decaschistia has traditionally been placed in the tribe Hibisceae, but it is shown that this genus has a combination of characters that does not permit it to be accommodated either in the Hibisceae or in any other tribe of the Malvaceae. A new tribe, the Decaschistieae Fryx., is therefore described and distinguished from the other four tribes currently accepted in the Malvaceae.
