A New Species

A new Begonia species, Begonia makuruyot, from B. section Baryandra is described and illustrated from forests over limestone in Surigao del Norte. This distinctive species, which appears to be endemic to the type locality, inhabits shaded limestone walls along the Daywan River at an elevation of 10–50 metres above sea level. Begonia makuruyot is distinguished from other Philippine Begonia by its rugose laminae, pendent leaves, pilose petioles and stipules fused with fleshy, aristate trichomes that are occasionally branching. A comparison with the phenetically similar B. acuminatissima is provided. Based on IUCN Red List criteria, B. makuruyot is designated Critically Endangered (CR).

Selaginella daozhenensis, a new species of the lycophyte genus Selaginella (Selaginellaceae) from a limestone cave in northern Guizhou, China is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically most similar to S. labordei and S. sichuanica but is distinct by its leaves being bluish green when fresh, its median leaves having aristae as long as leaf lamina, and its lateral leaves being larger (3.5–5.0 × 1.7–2.5 mm). Selaginella daozhenensis is currently known only from a single limestone cave and is considered to be Critically Endangered (CR), based on IUCN Red List criteria. It is also argued that S. sichuanica, earlier wrongly synonymized with S. labordei in treatments of the genus, should be recognized.

A New Species

Selaginella wangpeishanii, a new species of the lycophyte genus Selaginella (Selaginellaceae) from a limestone cave in southern Guizhou, China is described and illustrated. The new species is different from any species in the genus known so far in China by having some ultimate branches bearing microphylls in ascending order of trophophylls, sporophylls or sporophyll-like microphylls, and trophophylls (TST arrangement of microphylls). Morphologically, S. wangpeishanii is most similar to S. gebaueriana, but is distinct by smaller plants and serrulate margins of lateral trophophylls. Selaginella wangpeishanii is currently known only from a single population and is considered to be Critically Endangered (CR), based on IUCN Red List criteria.

A new species, Primulina jiangyongensis (Gesneriaceae) from limestone areas in southern Hunan, China, is described and illustrated. The new species differs from other species of Primulina mainly by its yellow corolla, with the lower lip having several dark purple stripes, peduncle and bracts densely spreading villous, pedicel densely glandular-villous, and filaments dark purple. According to the IUCN Red List Criteria, P. jiangyongensis is assessed as Critically Endangered (CR B2a; C2b) because of its limited populations and vulnerable habitat.

A New Species

A new species of Planchonella, endemic to the Roches de la Ouaième in northeastern New Caledonia, is described and illustrated. Planchonella ulfii morphologically resembles P. roseoloba, while molecular data indicate a closer relation to P. minutiflora and P. koumaciensis, with all three species belonging to a clade characterized by ridged fruits. The new species brings the total for the genus to 37 species in New Caledonia, 36 of which are endemic to the archipelago. With a single known population comprising 10 individuals, a preliminary risk of extinction assessment using the IUCN Red List criteria indicates that it is Critically Endangered due to risk of fire faced by the shrubby vegetation found of the summit crest of the Roches de la Ouaième. The level of micro-endemism found at this site is discussed.

The new species Chiococcagrandiflora Lorence & T.Van Devender from Sinaloa and Sonora, Mexico differs from its congeners by its larger, showy white flowers in compact cymes of 3–9, and infundibuliform corollas 16–20 mm long with tubes 13–17 mm long and lobes 3–3.5 mm long. Its distribution, habitat, and relationships are outlined. The conservation status for this species is estimated to be Endangered (EN) based on IUCN Red List Criteria.

A New Species

A new species of indotyphlid caecilian amphibian, Hypogeophis montanus sp. nov., is described based on a series of specimens from the Seychelles island of Mahé, collected from two localities in 2013 and 2015. The new species most closely resembles the Seychelles (Mahé) endemic H. brevis in being short (maximum known total length in life ca. 110 mm) and long snouted, but differs by having more vertebrae, a relatively smaller head, and substantially distinct mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences. Hypogeophis montanus sp. nov. is known from higher elevations (718–731 m) than H. brevis (ca. 350–650 m), and its elevationally restricted distribution on a single small island likely renders it threatened under IUCN Red List criteria. Hypogeophis montanus sp. nov. is the third species of small and long-snouted caecilian reported from the Seychelles. Along with H. brevis and H. pti, H. montanus sp. nov. is among the smallest known species of caecilian and possibly has the smallest global distribution.

Begonia tinuyopensis is described and illustrated as a new species from Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines. This new species resembles B. mearnsii by having a decumbent stem, scattered hairs over the entire plant, terminal inflorescence bearing 2 staminate tepals and 5 pistillate tepals. However, Begonia tinuyopensis is distinct by having sparse pilose (vs. matted with long brown hairs) stems, ovate (vs. suborbicular to subreniform) leaves and glabrous (vs. densely pubescent) ovary. We assign B. tinuyopensis as Endangered (EN) following IUCN Red List Criteria.

We describe a new species of Ptychadena from Mutinondo Wilderness in northern Zambia. It has rupicolous tadpoles that develop in a film of water. The species is distinguished on morphology, advertisement call and DNA sequences from other grass frogs and was found to be most closely related to P. broadleyi. It has no contrasting longitudinal bands on the posterior thigh, the foot is longer than half SVL, it has no light triangle on the snout, three phalanges of the fourth toe free of web and the snout has no skin folds. The species should be considered Near Threatened in terms of the IUCN Red List criteria given its limited extent of occurrence and population size.
