A New Species

A new species of Tradescantia sect. Austrotradescantia endemic to rocky cliffs in Southern Brazil, is here described as Tradescantia seubertiana. This new species is characterized as being completely glabrous, with a leaf base obtuse to cordate to slightly amplexicaulous, ellipsoid flower buds, by its light-pink to pink petals, and for growing in wet rocky cliffs. The new species is morphologically most similar to T. crassula due to its erect habit, conduplicate to canaliculate, succulent leaves, with inconspicuous secondary veins, non-saccate cincinni bracts, pistil longer than the stamens and hilum longer than ½ the length of the seed. I present a description, an illustration, a distribution map, habitat description, and a conservation assessment for the new species. I also present a comparison and identification key for the species related to T. seubertiana.

The description of a new species belonging to the Amorimia rigida complex (Malpighiaceae) is herein presented, based on leaf anatomy and macro-morphology. Amorimia tumida is endemic to northern state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and it can be differentiated from the remaining species of the A. rigida complex by the absence of glands on the leaf blades, elliptic leaf blades, divergent angle of the secondary veins, reduced number of flowers in the inflorescence, thickened fruiting pedicels, and indumentum of the filaments, styles and samaras. This study includes macro and micro-morphological descriptions, along with an updated identification key for the species of the complex, illustrations, a distribution map, conservation assessment, and comments on ecology and taxonomy.
