Abstract
A valid separation of the genus Mylia into two sections, Anomalae Schust. ex Potemk. and Mylia (= section Verrucosae Schust. nom. invalid. et illeg.), is carried out. Distinguishing characters of the species of Mylia, section Mylia, the distribution of M. taylorii and M. verrucosa and taxonomical status of M. nuda, are reviewed on the base of a comparative investigation. Key to recognized taxa of the genus is presented.
