A taxonomic study of the Neotropical genus Moutabea (Polygalaceae) in Brazil is presented, based on the analysis of herbarium material and field collections. Nine species are recognized: Moutabea aculeata, M. angustifolia, M. arianiae, M. chodatiana, M. excoriata, M. floribunda, M. gentryi, M. guianensis, and M. victoriana, a new species described here. The Brazilian Amazon is the diversity center of this genus. The following species were considered new occurrences: M. aculeata for the states of Amazonas, Pará and Rondônia; M. angustifolia for Amazonas, Amapá, Pará and Maranhão; M. arianiae for Amazonas, M. chodatiana for Roraima, Amazonas, Amapá and Pará; M. excoriata for Pará and Maranhão; and M. gentryi for Brazil (Amazonas and Rondônia). Moutabea dibotrya is considered synonymous with M. aculeata, and M. silvatica with M. excoriata. Lectotypes for M. dibotrya, M. excoriata and M. silvatica are proposed. An identification key, illustrations and maps of the geographic distributions of the species are presented.

A new species of Genlisea section Genlisea from the white-sand savannas (“campinaranas”) of Brazilian Amazon is described and illustrated, providing remarks on habitat and ecology as well as SEM seed images. Genlisea multiflora has been recorded from Viruá National Park, and is of affinity to the large, purple-flowered species G. sanariapoana and G. guianensis. An identification key to all Genlisea species north of the Amazon is presented.

Tubular Shape

Naucleopsis tubulata (Moraceae), a new species endemic to the Brazilian Amazon is described and illustrated in this paper. The conical to tubular shape of the perianth of the pistillate flower and fruit, the narrowly oblong shape of the leaves, and the filaments connate at the base differ from other species in the genus. This new species shows morphological similarities with N. caloneura and N. insculptula. The latter, previously treated as a synonym of N. caloneura, is re-established in this paper. We here present a taxonomic treatment for the new species of Naucleopsis, reestablished N. insculptula, and an updated identification key for the Naucleopsis species that occur in the Boreal Brazilian Domain.

A New Species

A new species of Lophogyne from a Brazilian Amazon savanna is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to the former Jenmaniella species, due to the presence of stems that arise from prostrate roots attached to the substratum, a gynophore at anthesis, and three prominent non-suture ribs per valve in the fruit, currently merged in Lophogyne s.l.. Lophogyne wilsonii can be distinguished from all others species of  Lophogyne s.l. by the apical region of the roots unattached from the substratum. The conservation status is discussed and an identification key is presented.

A New Species

A new species of Microlicia is described from the municipality of Morro do Chapéu, Bahia, Brazil. Microlicia morrensis is apparently related to M. petasensis and differs by its leaves that have a denser indumentum of eglandular trichomes, hypanthia densely covered with eglandular trichomes, calyx lobes triangular to widely triangular and lacking a stout eglandular trichome at the apex, petals rounded at the apex, and antepetalous stamens with appendages 4/5 to totally divided into two lobes. Photos of herbarium material and dried floral parts, a distribution map, notes on its conservation status, and an identification key to the species of Microlicieae from Morro do Chapéu are provided.

Sticherus holttumii, a new species from Brazil, is here described, illustrated, and compared to its most similar species. Additionally, S. brevitomentosus is recorded for the first time in Brazil, based on a recent collection from Pico da Neblina National Park. We also provide an identification key to all species of Sticherus from the Brazilian Amazon.

A new species to the flora of Mongolia, Astragalus habaheensis Y. X. Liou (A. arcuatus Kar. et Kir. s. l., Fabaceae), was revealed among herbarium material (LE!). It is assumed that all reports of A. arcuatus Kar. et Kir. and A. subarcuatus Popov for Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China also belong to A. habaheensis. The difference between A. habaheensis and closely related species is illustrated by the original illustration and the identification key.
