Morinda L. (Rubiaceae), a large genus comprising more than 80 species, is trees, shrubs, or woody climbers, and mainly distributed in the Old World tropics and subtropics (Peterson 1990, Johansson 1994, Mabberley 2008). Among the species examined of Morinda, a wide range of sexual systems, including monomorphic hermaphrodite, distylous hermaphrodite, dioecy, and androdioecy, has been reported (Philip and Mathew 1978, Reddy and Bahadur 1978, Johansson 1994, Puff et al. 2005, Nishide et al. 2009, Sugawara et al. 2010). However, the sexual system in most of the Morinda species still remains unclear. Morinda villosa Hook. f., which is one of the Morinda species distributed from southwestern China (Yunnan) to Vietnam and northern India, has been regarded as monomorphic in floral morphology (Ruan 1999, Chen 2003). In our preliminary investigations, however, the species appeared to be dimorphic with a distylous nature and functionally dioecious. Distylous species are morphologically characterized by having two types of plants that bear different flower morphs: longand short-styled morphs (Darwin 1877, Barrett and Richards 1990, Barrett 1992). In some distylous genera (e.g., Cordia, Coussarea, Mussaenda, Nymphoides, Psychotria, Sarcotheca, etc.), it is reported that distyly has evolved into dioecy (Opler et al. 1975, Bawa 1980, Beach and Bawa 1980, Barrett and Richards 1990, Webb 1999), and in Dioecy Derived from Distyly in Morinda villosa Hook. f.
