Introduction
Myanmar is one of the most under-collected regions in Continental Southeast Asia, although it embraces rich floral and faunal diversity from the mangrove forests and coral reefs of the Andaman Islands in the south, to the snow-capped peaks of Mt. Kakaboradzi (5,881 m) in the north, the highest mountain in Southeast Asia.
