Abstract: Serjania section Platycoccus is characterized by its membranous samaroid fruits with flat cocci. As previously delimited, section Platycoccus contained 24 species, of which only 12 are recognized in this revision. Five names where reduced to synonomy, nine species were transferred to other sections, and three recently described species were incorporated into Platycoccus.;The infrageneric classification of Serjania as proposed by Radlkofer in 1874 is modified, and only five of his twelve sections are recognized in this work. The creation of a new section (Confertiflora) is proposed in order to accommodate a group of species previously included in section Platycoccus, but distinctive from species of other sections of Serjania.
