A New Species

A new species belonging to the Epidendrum difforme group is proposed from the Brazilian central Amazon near Manaus. It is described, illustrated and compared with close relatives. The species can be recognized by the tall, terete stems, the 3–9 simultaneous flowers, the lip shallowly 4-lobed with the mid-lobe formed by two rounded lobes, being deeply emarginate in the middle, and the citrus fragrance. The only other species of this group found in the vicinity is Epidendrum althausenii which is quite different. The new species is closely related to E. campaccii from eastern Brazil. The group presently includes about 125 species ranging from Florida to southern Brazil.

A New Species

A new species of the cosmopolitan genus Xenylla Tullberg, 1869 is herein described and illustrated. The new species, Xenylla hodori sp. nov., from the Amazon Forest of Northern Brazil, resembles X. capixaba Fernandes & Mendonça, 2010 and X. welchi Folsom, 1916 due, the number of eyes, chaetotaxy head and shape of furca. X. hodori sp. nov. is the second species recorded for the Brazilian Amazon Region.

A New Species

A new Epidendrum species of the Nocturnum group is proposed for the Brazilian central Amazon, near Manaus. It is described, illustrated, and compared with similar species. Epidendrum dayseae can be recognized by the pendent stem, the long, narrow leaves, a relatively long floral pedicel, and the lateral lobes of the lip smaller than the mid-lobe and deeply separated. The new species resembles E. longicolle, but is distinguished by the union between of the lateral and mid-lobes of the lip being under half the mid-lobe length. The new species is also compared with E. plurifolionocturnum. Its chromosome number is 2n = 4x = 80, with a band pattern similar to other species of the Nocturnum group.

A New Species

A new species of Guianacara is described from tributaries of the Essequibo River and the rio Branco in Guyana and northern Brazil. Guianacara dacrya, new species, can be diagnosed from all congeners by the possession of a unique infraorbital stripe and by the shape of the lateral margin of the lower pharyngeal jaw tooth plate. Guianacara dacrya can be further distinguished from G. geayi, G. owroewefi, G. sphenozona and G. stergiosi by the possession of a thin midlateral bar, from G. cuyunii by the possession of dusky branchiostegal membranes and from G. oelemariensis by the possession of two supraneurals. This species differs from most congeners by the presence of white spots on the spiny portion of the dorsal fin, the placement of the midlateral spot, the presence of filaments on the dorsal, anal and in rare cases the caudal-fin and from at least the Venezuelan species by several morphometric variables. Guianacara dacrya is known from the Essequibo, Takutu and Ireng River basins of Guyana and possibly from the rio Uraricoera in the rio Branco basin in Brazil. A key to the species is provided.

A New Species

Prosopanche cocuccii is described as a new species from Southern Brazil. It resembles P. bonacinae due to the trigonous rhizome and by the general size of the flower organs. Nevertheless, P. cocuccii is distinguished by the main floral morphological characteristics used to differentiate species. In addition, the new species presents some rare characters for the genus, such as a highly branched rhizome and flowers usually grouped in fascicles. We provide a description, illustrations, field photographs, morphological details under the stereomicroscope, and comments on habitat, ecology, distribution, and conservation of the new species, as well as an updated key for the genus Prosopanche. In addition, we identified that P. cocuccii produces a large number of rhizomes and fruits for each single host specimen of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), which resulted in a decrease in height and growth of its only known host plant.

A new species of Persicaria, P. humboldtiana, endemic to a narrow area of waterfalls in Corupá, southern Brazil, is described in the present paper. The locus classicus of the new species is well-known for plant endemisms. A complete morphological description, original pictures, a distribution map, and a morphological comparison with the similar Eurasian species P. minor (≡ Polygonum minus) are given. The name Polygonum minus is lecto- and epitypified on, respectively, a Morison’s illustration and a specimen preserved at BM.
