A New Species

In the course of a taxonomic revision of the genus Massonia Houtt., Massonia citrina M.Pinter, Deutsch, U.Müll.- Doblies & D.Müll.-Doblies, a new species of this genus from the Western Cape Province (South Africa), is here described. This species is similar to members of the M. depressa group, but it can be easily distinguished by its yellow filaments and style and the longer perigone-filament tube. A complete morphological description of the new species is presented.

The genus Stuckenbergomyia Smith is revised with the description of a new species from Namibia (S.namibiensissp. nov.) and an undescribed species based on females from Western Cape Province of South Africa. The genus is fully illustrated and its phylogenetic relationships within the Hybotidae are discussed with the proposal of a new subfamily, Stuckenbergomyiinaesubfam. nov.

A New Species

As part of a taxonomic revision of the genus Massonia, a new species, M. obermeyerae is here described from South Africa. This species is at first sight similar to M. depressa, but it differs in the inflorescence and flower morphology, as well as its distribution. A complete morphological description of the new species and data on biology, habitat, and distribution are presented. Comments on typification of Massonia grandiflora, a name that has been misapplied to M. obermeyerae, are also presented, including the identification of a previously designated lectotype and a newly selected epitype.

A New Species

ThesiumnautimontanumM.A. García, Nickrent & Mucina, a new species from the Matroosberg Mt. of Western Cape Province of South Africa, is described and illustrated. This species shows several morphological features unusual for the genus including stem sympodial branching, indeterminate spicate inflorescences subtended by numerous bracts and fleshy, non-trichome tissue lining the inside of the corolla lobes. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer sequences place this taxon as sister to all African, Madagascan and South AmericanThesiumspecies. Given that only two proximal populations are known, this species is of conservation concern.

A New Species

A new species―Lampranthus alboroseus―is described from the summits of two mountains in the Southern Cederberg of the Western Cape Province. Florally it resembles L. antonii but differs in having a creeping and mat-forming habit and in its overall smaller size. The creeping habit is shared with L. reptans which, however, develops noticeably longer pedicels.

A New Species

As part of an ongoing study towards a taxonomic revision of the genus Massonia Houtt., a new species, Massonia amoena Mart.-Azorín, M.Pinter & Wetschnig, is here described from the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This new species is characterized by the leaves bearing heterogeneous circular to elongate pustules and the strongly reflexed perigone segments at anthesis. It is at first sight related to Massonia jasminiflora Burch. ex Baker, M. wittebergensis U.Müll.-Doblies & D.Müll.-Doblies and M. saniensis Wetschnig, Mart.-Azorín & M.Pinter, but differs in vegetative and floral characters, as well as in its allopatric distribution. A complete morphological description of the new species and data on biology, habitat, and distribution are presented.
