A New Species

A new species of Epidendrum from central Andes of Colombia is described and illustrated. Epidendrum machinense belongs to the Mancum group, Stenoglossum subgroup; being only the third species known to belong to that subgroup. The new species is characterized by having larger plants with respect to its close relatives, bearing 50–80 flowers per inflorescence, the flowers are resupinate due to drooping of the rachis, rather than the twisting of the pedicel; the petals are 3–veined, yellow tinged purple-brown, with completely yellow apices, the lip is white with numerous wine-red spots, 3–lobed, with broadly hamate lateral lobes, and a mid-lobe with a rombic or bifid apex. Information on the species distribution, habitat and phenology, conservation status, and characters that distinguish it from the nearest species are provided, as well as an annotation on resupination in the Stenoglossum subgroup.

A New Species

Recent botanical expeditions to the Dolphin Head Mountains in western Jamaica allowed the collection of different specimens of a new species, Hohenbergia rohan-estyi, an enigmatic plant that resembles the also Jamaican-endemic H. negrilensis. In this study, we describe H. rohan-estyi and include notes on its geographical distribution, habitat, conservation status and taxonomy. The length of the stipes and number of flowers per spike permit the differentiation of H. rohan-estyi from H. negrilensis. In addition, the geographic distributions of these two species do not overlap, as H. rohan-estyi inhabits mountainous forests of the Dolphin Head region while H. negrilensis occurs in coastal areas of western Jamaica. Finally, H. rohan-estyi is the third species of Hohenbergia reported as endemic to the Dolphin Head Mountains, indicating the importance of this area in the evolution and conservation of the genus in Jamaica and the Caribbean.

Crotonrizzinii Farias & Riina, sp. nov. is a new species from Serra dos Órgãos National Park in the Atlantic Rain Forest domain (Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil). It is known from the municipalities of Guapimirim, Teresópolis and Petrópolis, where it grows in montane ombrophilous dense forest, between 500 and 1500 m elevation. This arborescent species belongs to CrotonsectionCyclostigma Griseb., a Neotropical lineage distributed in forest habitats from Mexico to northern Argentina. It is mainly characterised by its laciniate-glandular stipules, bracts with two inconspicuous glands (colleters) at the base and campanulate pistillate flowers with sepals covering the ovary. We describe and illustrate the new species, and compare it with close relatives occurring in the Atlantic Rain Forest. We also provide a distribution map, habitat information and suggestions for the assessment of its conservation status.

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.

Dichoropetalum vuralii, a new species of Dichoropetalum sect. Dichoropetalum, is described and illustrated from the alpine stage of Dedegöl Mountains in south-western Anatolia, Turkey. It is morphologically similar to D. depauperatum and D. bupleuroides from which it differs mainly in the stem length, basal leaves and segments, number and shape of bracts and bracteoles, and mericarp features. The diagnostic morphological and carpo-anatomical characters of D. vuralii are discussed with regard to other close relatives. Additionally, notes are presented regarding its ecology and conservation status. Furthermore, pollen and mericarp surface characteristics are investigated using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The geographical distribution of this new species, as well as related species, is mapped.

A new species of Strengeriana Pretzmann, 1971, is described from the El Jardín Natural Reserve, Quindío Department, Colombia, on the western slope of the Central Andes. The genus is endemic to Colombia and is distributed in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, and the Western and Central Andes, at elevations ranging from 700 to 2400 m. With the addition of the new species, Strengeriana now includes 17 species. Strengeriana quindiensis n. sp. is distinguished from its congeners mainly by the exopod of the third maxilliped being 0.92 times the length of the ischium and by the morphology of the first male gonopod, particularly the shapes of the mesial and lateral processes.

Here, we describe and illustrate a new alpine species of Astragalus sect. Anthylloidei from Iran. Astragalus wiesneri sp. nov., an interesting and rare species, is only known from the type locality in the Bul Mountain (near Eghlid city) in the southern Zagros Mountains. The new species is compared with close relatives, including A. nigrohirsutus and A. lalesarensis, which are also endemic to Iran. In addition, we assembled a dataset of nrDNA ITS sequences of 21 species (22 accessions) representing A. sect. Anthylloidei and ten species of other related spiny-cushion forming sections. Maximum likelihood methods and Bayesian Inference retrieved A. wiesneri sister to A. nigrohirsutus, a species growing in the same area as the new species. The description of A. wiesneri is presented along with a distribution map, some ecological information, field images, conservation status, and pertinent notes.
