Euploca decorticans, is here described and illustrated as a new species from a heretofore poorly collected mountain area in Goiás state, Brazil. It is most morphologically similar to E. salicoides, one of the most widely distributed taxa of the genus in Brazil but differs from that species in several features related to habit (height and growth aspect), leaves (shape, trichome types, and venation pattern), flowers (size, corolla shape, length, color), inflorescence (length), fruits (diameter and trichome types) and nutlets (shapes), among other features. We include a distribution map besides photos and drawings of the new species, and we also discuss its conservation status.

A New Species

Beaucarnea olsonii is described and illustrated from tropical deciduous forests of SW Puebla, Mexico. The new species can be distinguished from other Beaucarnea species by its massively swollen base that abruptly tapers into slender branches, by its conspicuously long stigma, and by its pedicel articulation that occurs at 2/3 of the length of the pedicel below the flower. With this new addition, the total number of endemic species of Beaucarnea for Mexico increases to 10, making this country the greatest center of diversification and endemism for the genus. We also provide a distribution map and a conservation status recommendation for the new species, as well as a key to the Beaucarnea species of southern central Mexico.

A new species, Stachys semsurensis (sect. Infrarosularis), is described and illustrated from Adıyaman province, Turkey. From the morphological point of view, it appears to be similar to Stachys cataonica, but it differs in several morphological features including densely covered with short stalked to subsessile glandular hairs in flowering stems, verticillasters congested into ± globose head, calyx teeth lanceolate-subulate, corolla white, tube exserted and nutlets obovoid, greyish-brown, reticulate. A comprehensive description of the new species is provided, including detailed photographs, geographical distribution map, habitat structure and ecology, vernacular name and IUCN conservation status.

Abstract— A new species of Phyllanthus with phylloclades endemic to the State of Bahia is described here. Phyllanthus dracaenoides can be recognized for its peculiar habit that resembles a species of Dracaena, a very unusual height of up to 7 m, the plagiotropic phylloclades spirally arranged, and its vermiform cincinni. Notes on its habitat, taxonomic affinity, conservation status, geographic distribution, illustrations, and photographs are provided.

A New Species

Based on fieldwork and an extensive analysis of herbarium and type collections, a new species which grows in sedimentary soil in the Brazilian semiarid region, Erythroxylum pyan (Erythroxylaceae), is described here. The new species occurs in areas of hyperxerophilic caatinga in the states of Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, and Bahia. Erythroxylym pyan resemble E. nummularium, but can be distinguished by having slender branches, foliar stipules non-striated longitudinally, 2-setulose at apex, leaf blades membranous to slightly chartaceous, emarginate to retuse at apex, inflorescences with 1 flower per node, long, slender and erect pedicels, and calyx lobes cuspidate at apex. Additionally, a distribution map and data about its phenology, conservation status, and uses are provide.

Piptolepis rosmarinifolia, a new species from Brazil, is here described and illustrated, and its conservation status assessed. The new species is endemic to the Maranhão River Plateau in the state of Goiás, Brazil. Piptolepis rosmarinifolia is closely related to P. pabstii but differs by its smaller and linear to very narrow elliptic densely spiraled leaves, solitary terminal syncephalium, a higher number of heads per syncephalium and triseriate pappus.

Mimosa schininii (Leguminosae), a new species from the Amambay region, in the Cerrado ecoregion of northeastern Paraguay, is described and illustrated. This new species belongs to Mimosa L. section Mimosa series Mimosa subseries Brevipedes Barneby, and is similar to M. brevipes Benth. and M. sceptrum Barneby, but differs from them by shorter inflorescence, secondary leaflets venation pattern and fruit dehiscence. This new entity resembles, in some characters, other subseries of series Mimosa, such as Mimosa section Mimosa series Mimosa subseries Pedunculosae (Benth.) Barneby and Hirsutae (Benth.) Barneby, but can be distinguished adequately from them by vegetative, floral, and carpological characters. Illustration, distribution map, and a key to distinguish M. schininii from close relatives are provided.
