A New Species

Within the framework of a taxonomic revision of the genus Eliokarmos we here describe a new species from Pella se Berge in South Africa. Eliokarmos craibii sp. nov. is at first sight related to E. decus-montium and E. pendens, but the former can be clearly differentiated by the 2(−3) succulent, appressed, proteranthous leaves with lateral portions bent upwards, giving the appearance of thickened raised margins; the dimorphic filaments; the yellow ovary which is slightly verrucose in the upper half and white below; and the pyriform, apiculate seeds with papillate testa. A complete description is presented for this species, and data on morphology, ecology, and distribution are reported. Affinities and divergences with E. decus-montium and E. pendens are also discussed.

As part of a taxonomic revision of the genus Massonia, a new species, M. bakeriana, is here described from the Northern Cape (South Africa). This species is at first sight similar to M. echinata and M. mimetica, but it differs in vegetative, floral, and molecular characters as well as by its ecology and distribution. A complete morphological description of the new species and data on biology, habitat, and distribution are presented.

A New Species

Clivia mirabilis Rourke is a new pendulous tubular-flowered species from Oorlogskloof Nature Reserve in Northern Cape. Its distribution area is some 800 km outside the previously accepted range of the genus Clivia. This sun-tolerant species is adapted to an arid Mediterranean climate, producing vegetative growth in winter and maturing its seeds rapidly in late summer/early autumn to synchronize with the arrival of winter rains.

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.

African Genus

Background: Berkheya is a large, mainly southern African genus of approximately 75 species, several of which are poorly known and under-collected. Since revision in 1959, only a few new species have been described. Publication of new taxa facilitates conservation objectives and contributes to a better understanding of the southern African flora.Objectives: The objectives of this study were to describe a new species of Berkheya, consider its taxonomic position within the genus and assess its conservation status.Methods: Macromorphology and micromorphology of the new species were compared with known species.Results: Berkheya dumicola N.G.Bergh Helme was described from two subpopulations from the northern Bokkeveld escarpment, Northern Cape Province, South Africa. The species is a tall shrub with radiate flowerheads, toothed receptacle alveole margins, a uniseriate pappus of small, rounded scales and very short twin-hairs on the cypsela.Conclusion: Berkheya dumicola is a new species with a unique combination of features. Based on morphological characteristics, its closest relative within the genus is likely to be the recently describedBerkheya chrysanthemoides J.C.Manning Goldblatt. The limited geographic extent and small population size of B. dumicola warrant an International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) status of ‘Endangered’.

Within the framework of a taxonomic revision of the genus Stellarioides we here describe a new species from South Africa, Stellarioides exigua. This taxon is, at first sight, related to S. arida and S. tenuifolia s.l., but it can be clearly differentiated by the small general size; the filiform, free leaves; the small narrowly lanceolate capsules and the small seeds. A complete description of the species is presented, and data on morphology, ecology, and distribution are reported. Affinities and divergences with other taxonomically closely related taxa are also discussed.

A New Species

Nemesia arenifera is described as a new species that has been overlooked since 1904. The name Nemesia viscosa was misapplied to specimens from the Namaqualand coast that was considered a coastal form of N. viscosa. Nemesia arenifera is a common and widespread plant on sandy soils in the coastal zone of Namaqualand, Northern Cape, while N. viscosa is only known from the original two gatherings made from one location in the Richtersveld, Northern Cape. The new species differs from N. viscosa and N. rupicola in habit, leaf and fruit shape, and by the orientation of the spur, which is similar to that of N. rupicola. A comparative table with diagnostic morphological features of N. arenifera, N. viscosa and N. rupicola is provided and a lectotype for N. viscosa is selected. Diagnostic characters of N. arenifera include the erect, sparsely branched habit, small yellow flowers, the orientation of the spur, and the densely viscid, glandular-pilose indumentum.
