Correction: Floristic characteristics and affinities in Lao PDR, with a reference to the biogeography of the Indochina peninsula.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0179966.].

There are errors in Table 6. In the first row, "Myanma" should be "Myanmar." In row 22, "Endemic to Burma" should be "Endemic to Thailand." In row 23, "Endemic to Burma" should be “Endemic to Myanmar.” Please see the corrected Table 6 here.
