A New Species

The crinipelloid genera Crinipellis and Moniliophthora (Agaricales, Marasmiaceae) are characterized by basidiomes that produce long, dextrinoid, hair-like elements on the pileus surface. Historically, most species are believed to be saprotrophic or, rarely, parasitic on plant hosts. The primary morphological diagnostic characters that separate Crinipellis and Moniliophthora are pliant vs. stiff (Crinipellis) stipes and a tendency toward production of reddish pigments (ranging from violet to orange) in the basidiome in Moniliophthora. Additionally, most species of Moniliophthora appear to have a biotrophic habit, while those of Crinipellis are predominantly saprotrophic. Recently, several new neotropical collections prompted a morphological and phylogenetic analysis of this group. Herein, we propose a new species and two new combinations: Moniliophthora mayarumsp. nov., described from Belize, is characterized by its larger pileus and narrower basidiospores relative to other related species; Moniliophthora ticoicomb. nov. (= Crinipellis ticoi) is recollected and redescribed from biotrophic collections from northern Argentina; and M. brasiliensiscomb. nov. (= Crinipellis brasiliensis), a parasite of Heteropterys acutifolia. The addition of these three parasitic species into Moniliophthora support a hypothesis of a primarily biotrophic/parasitic habit within this genus.

In this study, Fritillaria arsusiana (Liliaceae) is described and illustrated as a new species from Hatay province in southern Anatolia, Turkey. It is related to F. amana and F. hermonis by habitus features and broadly campanulate flowers, but differs mainly by its bulb shape and size, smaller leaf and flower features, and flower colour. It has also been morphologically compared with F. wendelboi, F. pinardii, and F. latakiensis. The detailed description, diagnostic characters, original photographs, geographical distribution, habitat and phenology, etymology, conservation status, and identification key of the new and the related species are presented in this study. IUCN conservation status of F. arsusiana is suggested as Critically Endangered (CR).

A New Species

A new species of truffle, T.aztecorum, is described from central Mexico. Tuberaztecorum can be distinguished from other related Tuber species synoptically by a combination of morphological features including ascospore size, pellis cells with irregular thickness, cystidia, ascoma colour and associated host (Abiesreligiosa an endemic Abies species from central Mexico); sequence variation on the ITS rDNA also distinguishes T.aztecorum from related species. A phylogenetic analysis of the ITS rDNA demonstrates that T.aztecorum belongs to the Maculatum clade and is unique from other similar small, white-cream coloured Tuber species distributed in north-eastern Mexico such as T.castilloi and T.guevarai.

During fieldwork to investigate bryophyte communities in disjunct areas of savannas in the Eastern Amazon, a new species of Cheilolejeunea was collected. The genus contains species mainly inhabiting tropical rain forests, which also occur in seasonal forests or xeromorphic forests, such as Cheilolejeunea adnata, Cheilolejeunea discoidea, and Cheilolejeunea rigidula. The aim of this paper is to describe and illustrate the new species, as well as to present comments on its morphology, taxonomy and distribution. The new species is characterized by profusely branched, creeping plants with leaves widely spreading to squarrose, imbricate, suborbicular to obovate with usually incurved, rounded to obtuse apex and mammillose leaf cells, often with a lenticular papilla on the dorsal surface. Further diagnostic characters, as well as comments on its distribution and similarities with related species, are given.

Eugenia caipora (Myrtaceae), a new species from northeastern Brazil, is here described; it occurs in restinga vegetation, Tabuleiros litorâneos (Tabuleiro savanna), and seasonal forests in Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas. The new species is morphologically similar to Eugenia azuruensis, though differing by the leaf blades abaxially glabrous to puberulent (vs. densely tomentose in E. azuruensis), non-mucronate (vs. mucronate), with flat margins (vs. revolute), calyx lobes 4–5 mm wide (vs. 6–10 mm), rounded at the apex (vs. apiculate), and petals 5–15 mm long (vs. 20–24 mm). A table of diagnostic characters for the new and related species and photographs of morphological diagnostic characters are provided.

A New Species

A new, probably endemic species, Orobanche mlokosiewiczii (Orobanchaceae) is described from Georgia, in the Greater Caucasus. The species grows near waterfalls, on slopes with thermo-hygrophilous subalpine tall herbaceous vegetation, and is exclusively parasitic of another endemic species: Aconitum cymbulatum. It is a graceful whitish or pale white-yellow plant, characterised by campanulate flowers and usually a very wide open throat of corolla. So far, for the Orobanche parasite on Aconitum (exlusively A. lycoctonum) only one species O. lycoctoni is known—occurring in the Cantabrian Mts. in Spain and in the Alps. A detailed description, diagnosis, illustrations, and comparison with possible related species (O. lycoctoni, O. krylowii, O. inulae, O. flava subsp. cicerbitae) are provided. We also present phylogenetic analysis, and nomenclatural notes about the above species, and a lectotype of O. inulae is designated. Moreover, inside the Orobanche sect. Orobanche, a new combination Orobanche subsect. Curvatae and a new series Orobanche ser. Krylowianae are proposed and their types are designated.
