The Flora Neotropica treatment of Flaucourtiaceae s.l., by Sleumer, was a milestone in the study of the group and, consequently, of the families that were subsequently segregated from Flaucourtiaceae. Of these, Lacistemataceae comprise 16 tree-shrub species that usually occur in humid forests. However, specimens from campos rupestres in Bahia State, Brazil, were not analyzed by Sleumer so some morphological variation remained unnoticed. Here, we describe Lacistema ligiae, a new species from the campos rupestres of Bahia, and include notes on leaf venation and pollen morphology of related species. Lacistema ligiae can be recognized by leaf blades with sinuous secondary veins, which are covered by long and adpressed trichomes abaxially, hairy filament and ovary, and a distinct style not exceeding the height of the stamen.

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.

Cuphea harleyi, a new species from Chapada Diamantina, Bahia state, Brazil is described, illustrated, and commented on its ecological aspects. The new species inhabits rocky cerrado and campos rupestres, and is classified in Cuphea sect. Euandra subsec. Hilariella. The comparison of the new species with other species of the subsection has led to the synonymization and lectotypification of C. polymorphoides.

A new species of Comanthera (Eriocaulaceae) from Brazil is described and illustrated. C. borbae is a perennial herb with a cushion habit, endemic to the rocky outcrops in the Northern part of the Chapada Diamantina, in the semi-arid region of Bahia state, here assessed as an endangered species. Its habitat and morphological variation are discussed, in comparison with C. pignalii and C. floccosa, also from Bahia.

A New Species

A new species of Abarema from Brazil is described and illustrated. The new species is endemic to Morro do Chapéu, Chapada Diamantina, in the state of Bahia. Abarema diamantina shares morphological affinities with A. cochliacarpos by having a capitate raceme, strongly lenticelate branches, and median-basal pleurogram. However, there are remarkable vegetative and reproductive morphological characters which distinguish the two taxa. Here a description of the new species and illustrations are presented; a distribution map, and comments highlighting the differences between the closely related species are discussed.

A new species of fig tree endemic to the Chapada Diamantina in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia, is described and illustrated. Ficus diamantina belongs to the Ficus sect. Americanae. The new species occurs sympatrically with Ficus clusiifolia and shows affinities with Ficus bahiensis from which it differs by the reddish color of young branches with epidermis flaking off, the tector and glandular trichomes on the lamina abaxial surface, the number of lateral veins, the divergence angle of basal pair of veins and the subsessile syconia. It occurs in high montane forests near Campos Rupestres (upland rocky fields) at altitudes up to 800 m.

The oribatid mite subgenus Scheloribates (Topobates) Grandjean, 1958, is recorded from the Neotropical region for the first time. A new species of this subgenus is described from the leaf litter collected in Cayo Agua Island, Panama. Scheloribates (Topobates) panamaensis sp. nov. differs from its related species by the very large body size and presence of a strong ventrodistal process on the leg femora II–IV.

A New Species

Epimedium muhuangense (Berberidaceae), a new species from Guizhou, China, is described and illustrated. This species is most closely similar to E. elachyphyllum in having simple leaves, petals shorter than inner sepals, flowers less than 10 mm in diameter and in having the same pollen morphology as well, but differs by having stout, short rhizomes, two opposite, glabrous leaves on flowering stems, and paniculate inflorescences. The chromosomes of E. muhuangense is counted as 2n = 12 and the karyotype is formulated as s 2n = 2x = 6m (2sat) + 6sm. Line illustrations, color photographs, and micrographs of chromosomes and of pollen grains of E. muhuangense are provided.
