Abstract:	Premise of the study: Microsatellite primers were developed for the endemic tree Litsea hypophaea (Lauraceae) in Taiwan to investigate its genetic diversity and population genetic structure and to investigate species delimitation within Litsea. • Methods and Results: Fifteen new simple sequence repeat markers were developed from L. hypophaea with a magnetic bead enrichment method. Most loci were also amplified from three closely related species, L. coreana, L. lii, and L. acutivena. The number of alleles and observed and expected heterozygosities across loci varied with a range of 1-25, 0.000-1.000, and 0.000-0.956, respectively. • Conclusions: The application of these microsatellite markers of L. hypophaea provides a tool for understanding genetic diversity and population differentiation. In addition, interspecific amplification suggests that these markers will also be useful for species identification of related taxa within Litsea in Taiwan.
