A New Species

A new species, Eucalyptus deuaensis Boland & Gilmour, is described. Its taxonomic position is in subgenus Monocalyptus, section Renantheria, series Capitellatae, following the informal classification of Pryor and Johnson (1971). The species is somewhat unusual in that it is a gum-barked 'Stringybark', i.e. its fruit and seedling morphology conform with those species normally having their trunks clothed with Stringybark. E. deuaensis is known only from the type locality, near Mongamulla Moun- tain, where the population extends over several hectares on steep rhyolitic cliffs. Analyses of the oil composition of the adult leaves were not definitive for the species, but suggested similarities with other stringbark species. The ecology, distribution, taxonomic affinities and conservation status are discussed.

A New Species

A new species, Eucalyptus wilcoxii Boland & Kleinig, is described. Its taxonomic position is in subgenus Symphyomyrtus, series Viminales following the informal classification of eucalypts proposed by Pryor and Johnson. In adult characters it superficially resembles E. baeuerlenii F. Muell. but differs markedly from that species in its shortly petiolate and narrow-elliptical seedling and juvenile leaves and in its smaller and shortly pedicellate fruit. The species is known only from the vicinity of Mother Woila Mountain in Deua National Park, New South Wales. Evidence for recognition of this taxon was gathered from the comparative morphology of E. wilcoxii and E. baeuerlenii. The oil composition of adult leaves and isozyme analyses of seeds showed clear differences although the wood anatomy was not distinguishable between the two species. The ecology, distribution, taxonomic status, natural affinities and conservation status of E. wilcoxii are discussed.

A New Species

A new species, Eucalyptus fusiformis Boland et Kleinig, from the north coast of New South Wales is described. Its taxonomic position is in E. subgenus Symphyomyrtus series Paniculatae following the informal classification of eucalypts proposed by Pryor and Johnson (1971). E. fusiformis is characterised by its flowers, fruits and adult leaves. In the bud the staminal filaments are fully inflected while the androecium has outer staminodes and the anthers are cuboid and adnate. The fruits are narrow, often truncate fusiform, tapering into long slender pedicels. The adult leaves are dull grey, concolorous and hypoamphistomatic. The species resembles the more numerous and often co-occurring ironbark E. siderophloia which has similar adult and seedling leaves. The volatile oils of both species are very similar. The ecology, distribution, taxonomic affinities and conservation status are discussed.

Argostemma separatum, a new species with free stamens in star-shaped corolla from Mt. Halcon Oriental Mindoro, Philippines is here described and compared with Argostemma diversifolium, the only species of the genus with this type of flower. This species is distinct from A. diversifolium by its indumentum on stem, leaf blades and calyx, smaller leaf blades, fewer flowered inflorescences, shape of stipule and calyx, red tips on corolla lobes, and color of anthers. Based on the recent IUCN categories, the conservation status of A. separatum is Data Deficient (DD) since it was only collected at the type locality.

Rheum telianum is described as a new species from Kayatepe village (south-eastern Anatolia, Turkey). It is morphologically related to the west-central Asiatic R. ribes and R. rhizostachyum from which can be easily distinguish by its stem surface (slightly verrucose), leaf number, shape, and size (usually 1-basal leaf or rarely with a small one at base, reniform-rotate, 6.5–100 × 4.5–56 cm), achene shape and size (cordate-triangular, 8–15 × 8–16 mm).

A new species of freshwater crab of the genus Potamonemus Cumberlidge & Clark, 1992, is described from Mount Manengouba Reserve and the Bakossi National Park in the tropical rainforests of southwestern Cameroon, Central Africa. Potamonemus man n. sp. is recognized by characters of the carapace and chelipeds. In addition, a phylogenetic analysis based on partial sequences of three mitochondrial DNA genes (COI, 12S rRNA, and 16S rRNA) that included representatives of all other freshwater crab genera found in Cameroon recovered each of the new species as a distinct lineage. A diagnosis and illustrations of the new species are provided, and it is compared to the other species in this genus. Brief notes are provided on the ecology of the new species and the two other species of Potamonemus. An identification key to the species of Potamonemus is provided and its conservation status discussed.

During our analyses of Lycianthes exsiccates, as part of the taxonomic treatment for the Brazilian flora, a new species was discovered and is described and illustrated here. The species is compared and contextualized within the infra-generic classification of Lycianthes. Analyses of indument and trichomes were performed by stereomicroscopy (SM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The new species, Lycianthes amazonica, is recognized as an endemic species to the Brazilian Amazon, which has its habitat described as secondary formations (capoeira) of terra-firme forests. It is closely related to L. sprucei, with which shares the scandent or vine habit, flexuous branches and ferrugineous indument of glandular trichomes. However, they are distinguished by several morphological features, including trichomes morphology, a sessile inflorescence and calyx appendages of equal length; both species belong to Lycianthes. subg. Polymeris sect. Eulycianthes ser. Glanduliferae. The description of this species expands the total number of Lycianthes species to the Brazilian Amazon to six, as well as thirteen to Brazil. The affinities of Lycianthes amazonica with its related species, distribution, ecology, and conservation status are discussed. Additionally, a lectotypification of Lycianthes sprucei, a species closely related to L. amazonica, is proposed.

We describe and illustrate Wahlenbergia itatiaiensis, a new species of Campanulaceae, endemic to the Itatiaia National Park in the Atlantic Forest (Brazil). The new species is compared with W. linarioides, the sympatric and morphologically most similar species, and to W. intermedia. Wahlenbergia itatiaiensis is mainly distinguished by the linear to lanceolate leaves with few, short denticles along the margin, 3-locular ovary, and 3-lobed stigma. An identification key for these species is provided. The new species occurs on sandy and rocky, wet soils, adjacent to dirt roadsides of the upper part of the National Park. Detailed comments on the distribution and conservation status, as well as details of morphological variation and photographs are provided.
