A New Species

A new plant species from the Amazon in Peru, Aniba inaequabilis, is here described. The new species belongs to a group of Aniba species that has papillose leaves, but differs from all the species described in this group by the combination of stamens with few sparse hairs, stamens of whorl I and II with different shapes and the glands at the base of the inner stamens fused. In this paper the new species is described and illustrated and its relationship with other species of Aniba with papillose leaves is discussed.

A New Species

Nameriophyes sapidae Xue & Zhang (Acari: Eriophyidae) was found on transplanted nikau palms, Rhopalostylis sapida (H. Wendl. & Drude) in Auckland, New Zealand and described as a new species (Xue & Zhang 2008). Although R. sapida is a native plant species, it was not known if this mite species was indigenous or adventive because it was collected only from transplanted palms in unnatural gardens in Auckland. A survey was undertaken of R. sapida and the Kermadec Island palm, Rhopalostylis baueri (Hook. f.) Wendl. & Drude in the northern part of the North Island and Chatham Island.

The Chimanimani Mountains, located at the Mozambique-Zimbabwe border, are geologically unique in that they consist of quartzites giving rise to peaks and outcrops between zones of schist supporting grasslands. The nutrient-poor quartzitic soils house a high number of endemic plant species. One of these is Sericanthe chimanimaniensis, which is here described as new for science. We give a detailed description and distribution map, illustrations, information on ecology and phenology, and an assessment on the conservation status. An identification key to closely allied species is presented.

SummaryA Gabonese taxon cultivated for decades in the botanic gardens of Europe as Anchomanes nigritianus is shown to be a new species to science, and on current evidence, is best placed as the fourth species of the Gabonese-centred, poorly known genus Pseudohydrosme. Data on the morphological separation between Anchomanes and Pseudohydrosme are reviewed. Although phylogenomic studies may show in future that the two genera need to be merged, for the moment their separation is reinforced on morphological grounds. Anchomanes lacks the spathe tube, ovoid-globose, 2 – 4 locular pistil and thick, lobed stigma on a symmetric, stout style that we show to characterise the redelimited Pseudohydrosme. (Anchomanes has oblong, polygonal, 1-locular pistils, stigmas asymmetric, sessile, thin and disc-like or on asymmetrical conical styles and are pointed or brush-like). In addition, Pseudohydrosme (where known) has stipitate (versus sessile) fruits and on current evidence lacks the lacticifers recorded from Anchomanes. We test the hypothesis that the taxon is a new species to science, naming it as Pseudohydrosme bogneri, and conclude that it is Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) using the IUCN 2012 standard. Pseudohydrosme bogneri appears to be the tenth documented probable global extinction of a plant species that has occurred among the narrowly endemic plant species of the Libreville area, Gabon.

A New Species

Strange patterns of white discoloration on leaves as well as unusual outgrowth that resembles arrested generation of new branches on stem were observed on a plant in Singapore. The white discoloration patterns were random in size and shape but radiated from the veins of the leaf, with a higher concentration in the center and no discoloration in the outer regions. Possible explanations for the coloration pattern on the leaves include: (i) a new species, and more serious (ii) a plant disease of a hormonal nature or mediated by microbe pathogenesis or both. Observations of the plant stem revealed that the length of the stem is of regular segments, with each section punctuated by a ring-like structure. However, an evident flower-like (or, from a different perspective, rose-like) outgrowth in the middle of one section suggested that it is a sprout point for the development of a new branch. But the development was halted in unexplained ways, leaving behind an arrested ring. Though the above may be part of normal development, it could also be signs that the plant is under significant environment stress such as high temperature or manifesting the effects of uptake of toxins, which impacts on equilibrium of hormones in the plant. Most puzzling, the outgrowth that likely will form the basis of a new branch appeared in a lower segment of the stem without branches – which pointed tantalizingly to a hormonal disequilibrium cause. Collectively, the plant mentioned above was likely to be in distress in two scenarios. Specifically, (i) as a new plant species with a different leaf coloration pattern (white round patches on green background) but suffering from a hormonal disease manifesting as outgrowth in the stem, or (ii) a leaf discoloration pattern due to microbe infestation of the xylem in the leaf that led to reduced chlorophyll production in areas of microbe growth together with a systemic hormonal disequilibrium that result, through unknown mechanisms, in flower-like outgrowth in areas of stems not associated with sprouting of branches. Written as a rapid communication to inform the scientific community of a possible new plant species or an early indication of a plant disease likely to be hormonal disequilibrium that impacts on development of a mature plant, interested researchers may explore further the initial observations reported in this short note.

A New Species

A peculiar habitat type found in the savannahs of Central Cuba, Villa Clara Province and characterised by the presence of a surface gravel layer of “perdigones”, an assemblage of small ferralitic concretions, upon the “mocarrero” soil prevailing in the area, is described. On sterile gravel patches, only one species grows: Elytraria serpens, a new species described and named here. It is noteworthy for possessing long and wide creeping, stoloniform subterranean peduncles with apical gemmae developing into rooting leaf rosettes enabling vegetative propagation. The new species is close to E. shaferi and considered to derive from the latter by adaptive evolution, enabling it to survive in its hostile habitat, sheltered from the competition of other plant species. Small soil insects, for example, ants, are believed to act as pollinators.

An annotated list of dolichopodid species recorded from Kurile Archipelago (Russia) is given for the first time. Sciapus basarukini sp. n. from Kunashir Island is described and illustrated. New records for 26 species, including 8 species new for the Kurile Islands, are presented. Long-legged flies are recorded for the first time from the Anuchina, Tanfilyeva, Polonskogo, Urup, Chirpoy, Brat-Chirpoyev, Simushir, Ushishir, Matua, Raikoke, Paramushir, Kharimkotan, Makanrushi, Atlasov, and Onekotan islands. Two species are excluded from the fauna of Kurils. In total, 54 species are recorded from the Kurile Archipelago that appa¬rently makes up 50–60% of the actual dolichopodid fauna in this region. The trends discovered on the Kurile Islands for plant species, i.e. the landscape diversity and the number of plant species increase from small to large islands, and decrease from southern islands northward, are generally supported by the case of flies of the family Dolichopodidae.

A New Species

During the study of Monoon Miquel (1865: 15) in western Malesia, we found two individuals of this genus cultivated in the Bogor Botanic Garden. According to the catalogue An alphabetical list of plant species cultivated in the Bogor Botanic Gardens, these plants were collected from South Kalimantan in 1977 (Sari et al. 2010). Leaves and aggregate fruits of these plants indicated that they are a species of Monoon (Annonaceae). The leaves exhibit eucamptodromous venation, decurrent insertion of secondary veins, and scalariform tertiary veins. The aggregate fruits consist of many one-seeded, stalked monocarps. However, other characters indicated that they differ from already known Monoon species. We consider these plants, therefore as new to science.       This new species shares characters with M. lateriflorum (Blume) Miquel (1865: 19), previously Guatteria lateriflora Blume (1825: 20) and M. sclerophyllum (Hook. & Thomson) Xue & Saunders in Xue et al. (2012: 1033), previously Polyalthia sclerophylla Hooker & Thomson (1872: 65), in having ramiflorous, fasciculate inflorescences, many-flowered fascicles, oblong petals slightly constricted basally and many-stipitate monocarps (ca. 30) in aggregate fruits. However, other characters of leaves, flowers, and monocarps indicate that this new material differs from M. lateriflorum, and M. sclerophyllum (Table 1).
