The genus Embelia in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore is revised as part of ongoing work contributing towards the Flora of Peninsular Malaysia account. Three new species are described: E. butangifolia, E. intricata and E. vinosiramosa, and a new combination is made: Embelia beccariana based on Grenacheria beccariana. A key to the 24 taxa (23 species and one subspecies) is presented, alongside distribution, habitat, phenology and a discussion of morphology of similar taxa; lectotypes are designated for names where necessary. The conservation status of each species is estimated using IUCN criteria.
