A New Species

Noccaea atila-ocakii is described as a new species from Eskisehir, Turkey. Morphologically, it is similar to N. antitaurica and N. lilacina, but it is easily distinguished by several morphological characters, including the size of its basal leaves, shape of its cauline leaves and fruit, length of its style, number of ovules, etc. Phylogenetic relationships, based on the nuclear-encoded ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, within the genus are shown. Molecular data reveal that new species clearly differs from N. antitaurica and N. lilacina. Paraphyletic taxa in the phylogenetic tree also indicate that the generic circumscription of Noccaea by Al-Shehbaz is more convenient compared with previous delimitations of this genus. Diagnostic characters, a detailed description, and photographs of the new species are given; the IUCN Red List category and observations on the ecology of the populations are noted; and the distribution map of the new species and its closely related species in Turkey are presented.

A New Species

A new species of Primulina is described and illustrated from southern China (Guangxi zhuang Autonomous Region) as P. guizhongensis. This new species is similar to P. spadiciformis based on morphological characters. Sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the plastid trnL-F intronspacer (trnL-F) from the new species and its 22 relatives are used to resolve generic placement of the new species in Primulina. In spite of three species are vastly different in morphology, the molecular evidences showed that the closest relatives of P. guizhongensis are P. mollifolia and P. luochengensis. The conservation threat analysis is summarized according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.

A New Species

A new species belonging to Lactarius subg. Plinthogalus was discovered during a long-term project on the diversity of Korean Lactarius. This species is proposed here as Lactarius cucurbitoides. The status of L. cucurbitoides as a new species is supported by molecular data and morphological features. Phylogenetic analysis based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences shows that L. cucurbitoides is closely related to L. subplinthogalus, L. friabilis, and L. oomsisiensis, with pairwise distances of 2.8–4.3%. Morphological characters of L. cucurbitoides that distinguish it from these closely related species are a pale yellow to pale orange colored pileus and non-discoloration of white latex. The new species is described and illustrated in the present paper.

Here we describe Paraboea dolomitica Z.Y. Li, X.G. Xiang & Z.Y. Guo, a new species of Gesneriaceae from Guizhou, China. Based on recent extensive observations, this new species is morphologically similar to Paraboea filipes (Hance) Burtt, in having obovate leaf blades, 1–4-flowered cymes and purplish corolla, but differs from that species by the combination of denticulate leathery leaves, sparsely brown haired peduncles, two woolly bracts, reniform anthers and two glabrous staminodes. Additionally, molecular data support this new species as a member of a clade that includes P. crassifolia, P. tetrabracteata, P. peltifolia, P. vetutina, P. dushanensis, P. dictyoneura, P xiangguiensis and P. guilinensis, but it is distinct from them in leaf position, inflorescence, penduncle, bract and capsule. The conservation status of this species is considered to be “Vulnerable” (VU) according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.

Noccaea birolmutlui Özgişi & Özüdoğru is described as a new species from Kızıldağ National Park, Isparta, in SW Anatolia. It resembles N. ochroleuca but can be readily distinguished by several morphological characters including shape and size of basal/stem leaves, fruit shape, style length, ovule number etc. Nuclear-encoded ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region based phylogeny proved that this species clearly differs than N. ochroleuca and these two species belong to different clades in Noccaea s.str. Diagnostic characters, a description, detailed photos and taxonomic comments on the species are given. Morphological affinities and ITS based phylogenetic relationships of new species are discussed. Furthermore, the IUCN Red List category of N. birolmutlui is proposed as critically endangered (CR) due to its limited distribution.
