The genus Najas (Hydrocharitaceae) was treated for the Flora of Thailand in 2001 with four species recorded. Through field and herbarium observations, it is proposed to exclude one of these four species, N. minor. A further species, N. marina, is reported for the first time. An updated key to the species is provided.
