A New Species

Colanthelia is a woody bamboo genus belonging to the Arthrostylidiinae and currently includes nine species. It can be recognized by a suite of morphological characters including hollow and thick-walled culms, branch complement with a promontory in the base and a dominant divergent branch bearing few to many secondary small branchlets from its base, culm leaves with a relatively well developed girdle and a crest or skirt at the juncture of the sheath and girdle, racemose or weakly paniculate synflorescences, and relatively long and narrow spikelets with visible rachilla internodes. During recent fieldwork in Minas Gerais state, a new species, Colanthelia longipetiolata, from the Brazilian Atlantic forest was collected, which is here described and illustrated. So far as we know, the species is endemic to the Caparaó National Park, in Minas Gerais state. Comments on its habitat, distribution and conservation status, a morphological comparison between C. longipetiolata and C. sparsiflora, and a revised identification key to all species of the genus are provided.

Two New Species

Two new species, Merostachys ramosa and M. ximenae, from the Brazilian Atlantic forest are here described and illustrated. The species are apparently endemic to Minas Gerais state, with M. ramosa being restricted to the Parque Estadual da Serra do Brigadeiro. The conservation status of each species is examined. A key to all taxa of Merostachys present in eastern Minas Gerais and comments about the species are provided.

A New Species

We described a new species of Phyllanthus currently known from a single fragment of Ombrophilous Dense Forest in the Jequitinhonha Valley, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Phyllanthus pedicellatus is the second species of the genus with phylloclades found in the Atlantic Forest domain, once mostly Brazilian Phyllanthus with these kinds of specialized branches grow in open vegetation as “campos rupestres” and cerrado. The name is a reference to its remarkable pedicels of pistillate flowers. We present illustrations and photographs of the new species in its habitat, comments on its relationships to other Brazilian Phyllanthus, and its conservation status.

A new species, Calea arachnoidea, which belongs to Calea sect. Meyeria, is hereby described and illustrated. This species occurs in the Serra Negra region, located in the southern portion of the “Zona da Mata” in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. Calea arachnoidea resembles C. quadrifolia, C. heteropappa and C. semirii, and its relationships with these species are discussed and an identification key for the species of C. sect. Meyeria in the state of Minas Gerais is provided. Additionally, photographs, a distribution map, comments about habitat and conservation status are provided.

A New Species

Myrcia adulterina, a new species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, is here described, illustrated and compared with morphologically related species. Additionally, its distribution map and a preliminary conservation status are presented. The new species is here inferred as belonging to Myrcia sect. Reticulosae due its leaves with raised venation, staminal ring densely pilose, hypanthium prolonged in a tube with glabrous inner walls and 3-locular ovaries. Within this section, the species is morphologically related to Myrcia pubipetala, from which it can be distinguished through the laxly reticulate leaf venation and thyrsoid inflorescences with all axes strongly flattened and striated when dry. Myrcia adulterina was misidentified during at least 15 years in herbaria under the name Marlierea tomentosa (currently synonym of Myrcia strigipes, a species belonging to Myrcia sect. Aulomyrcia), which is also morphologically similar. A brief discussion clarifying the morphological differences between these species is also presented.

Tovomita iaspidis, a new species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, is described, illustrated, and its morphological affinities with other species and its diagnostic characters are discussed. The new species is similar to Tovomita glazioviana, from which it can be distinguished by having greenish patent petals and larger and reddish pistillode in the staminate flowers. While T. glazioviana is found in the Atlantic Forest in the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro, T. iaspidis is so far only known from two small remnant areas of montane forest in southern Bahia State, Brazil.

A new species of Inga (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid clade), restricted to the Atlantic Forest of Minas Gerais State, Brazil, is described, illustrated, and compared in an inedited identification key to the species with stipitate extrafloral nectaries in the biome, Inga ciatiformis is similar to Inga cabelo and Inga platyptera. It differs from I. cabelo by having appressed-sericeous young branches, leaves with 1–3 pairs of leaflets, a terminal appendix 7–12 mm long, cyathiform extrafloral nectaries, bracts 9–13 mm long, linear, persistent, and a sparsely sericeous calyx (vs. hirsute-hispid young branches, leaves with 2–5 leaflets pairs, terminal appendix 2.5 mm long, capitate extrafloral nectaries, bracts 2 mm long, triangular, caducous, and a hirsute calyx). It differs from I. platyptera by having appressed-sericeous young branches, a cylindrical petiole and rachis, rachis rarely winged in the superior portion of the apical pair of leaflets, extrafloral nectaries always cyathiform, and linear bracts (vs. hispid young branches, winged petioles and rachises, extrafloral nectaries generally cupuliform, and lanceolate to ovate bracts).
