The systematic position of Parashorea chinensis (Dipterocarpaceae) was investigated by using maximum parsimony analysis of nucleotide sequences of matK , trnL intron, and trnL–trnF intergenic spacer region of chloroplast DNA. Previous studies have placed the taxon in Parashorea or Shorea . Analyses indicate that P. chinensis belongs within Parashorea (80% bootstrap) rather than within Shorea . Furthermore, P. chinensis Wang Hsie and P. chinensis Wang Hsie var. kwangsiensis Lin Chi are further confirmed to be the same taxon.
