Abstract

Pseudosperma citrinostipes sp. nov. from southwestern China is described and illustrated based on morphological, ecological, and molecular data. The new species is characterized by a medium-sized slender habit, straw yellow to golden yellow pileus, crowded lamellae without olive tinges, an equal stipe with lemon yellow to golden fibrils, large ellipsoid to subphaseoliform basidiospores, subfusiform to lageniform cheilocystidia, and the presence of caulocystidia at the stipe apex. Phylogenetically, P. citrinostipes is placed in the P. rimosum complex and is sister to the rest of the taxa of the species complex.

Abstract

The Dichorisandra acaulis group has its circumscription broadened to include two additional species, viz. D. oxypetala and the herein newly described D. forzzae. Dichorisandra oxypetala has previously not been included in this morphological group due to its deviant vegetative morphology. However, its reproductive morphology is congruent with the D. acaulis group and, thus, it is here included as a member of the later. Dichorisandra forzzae is here described to accommodate the specimens with anthers dehiscent through one apical pore, erroneously identified as D. acaulis in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. We provide illustrations, taxonomic comments and an updated identification key for the species of the D. acaulis morphological group. Furthermore, a table of comparison among the morphologically similar species of the Dichorisandra acaulis group is presented.

Abstract

A new orchid species, Dendrobium yongjiaense, from Zhejiang, China, is described and illustrated here. Detailed morphological study indicates that D. yongjiaense is similar to D. monticola and D. strongylanthum, but it differs in the shape and size of leaf, flower size, and a mid-lobe of the lip with densly distinct crystalline papillae and wrinkled 3–5 crest lines in middle. Molecular phylogeny analyses based on the nrITS and plastid DNA (matK and trnL-F) reveal that D. yongjiaense is a member of sect. Stachyobium, and genetically similar to D. monticola.

Abstract

A new orchid species, Dendrobium jinghuanum (Epidendroideae, Orchidaceae), from Yunnan Province, China, is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular data. Morphological investigations indicated this new orchid is similar to D. bensoniae, D. crystallinum, and D. wardianum, but it can be differentiated easily from them by associated characteristics: 7-veined sepals, 9-veined petals, a chestnut blotch on either side of lip disk, an anther cap with distinct crystalline papillae, and stems without swollen nodes. Molecular phylogeny analyses showed that D. jinghuanum is a member of section Dendrobium s.l. and sister to D. bensoniae but not D. crystallinum or D. wardianum.

Abstract 

We describe and illustrate Paepalanthus fabianeae , a new species of Eriocaulaceae from the central portion of the Espinhaço Range in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Previous phylogenetic evidence based on analyses of nuclear (ITS and ETS) and plastid (trnL-trnF and psba-trnH) sequences revealed P. fabianeae as belonging to a strongly supported and morphologically coherent clade containing five other species, all of them microendemic, restricted to the Espinhaço range. Due to the infrageneric classification of Paepalanthus being highly artificial, we preferred not assigning P. fabianeae to any infrageneric group. Paepalanthus fabianeae is known from two populations growing in campos rupestres (highland rocky fields) in the meridional Espinhaço Range. The species is characterized by pseudodichotomously branched stems, small, linear, recurved, and reflexed leaves, urceolate capitula, and bifid stigmas. Illustrations, photos, the phylogenetic position, and a detailed description, as well as comments on habitat, morphology, and affinities with similar species are provided. The restricted area of occurrence allied with threats to the quality of the habitat, mainly due to quartzite mining, justifies the preliminary classification of the new species in the Critically Endangered (CR) category using the guidelines and criteria of the IUCN Red List.

 Researchgate.net/publication/342549771

Abstract

Allium schisticola is described from West Azarbaijan (Iran) as a new species. It is closely related to A. sabalense and A. sahandicum in having a similar flower color but differs by leaf, filament, and tepal characters. We investigated the phylogenetic relationship of the new species based on sequences of the chloroplast trnL-trnF and nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions in A. subg. Melanocrommyum compared with 109 accessions of this subgenus. Our results confirm its placement in A. subg. Melanocrommyum. However, the ITS tree showed that the new species should belong to A. sect. Melanocrommyum despite the fact that it represents many morphological characters of A. sect. Acanthoprason. Most peculiar for the new species are obtuse tepals broadest near the tip (vs. very narrowly lanceolate up to triangular tepals in A. sect. Acanthoprason), with adaxially inconspicuous median vein (vs. conspicuous median vein in sect. Acanthoprason). The new species is diploid with a chromosome number of 2n = 2x = 16. Karyotype features and meiotic chromosomes behavior are presented for the new taxon. A detailed morphological description, illustrations, and a distribution map of the new species are given.

Abstract

An extended molecular phylogeny of the genus Dasymaschalon (Annonaceae) has been reconstructed using up to six plastid DNA regions (matK, ndhF, rbcL exons; trnL intron; psbA-trnH, trnL-trnF intergenic spacers). The results unraveled the non-monophyly of a widely distributed D. dasymaschalum. A lineage of D. dasymaschalum native to Java and cultivated at Bogor Botanical Garden represents the true D. dasymaschalum, whereas the name Pelticalyx argentea is applicable to a distantly related clade of D. dasymaschalum from mainland Asia. Dasymaschalon argenteum comb. nov. is accordingly made. Additionally, the true D. dasymaschalum has been retrieved as the sister group of D. halabalanum, a new species from Narathiwat Province, southern Thailand herein described. Pedicel length, petal size and color, and the number of stamens per flower principally distinguish the new species from its sister group.

 A, B. Staminate inflorescence at early stage of anthesis, habit (A) and cut opened (B). C, D. Staminate inflorescence at later stage of anthesis than A, habit (C) and flattened (D). E, F. Manually opened pistillate inflorescence showing spadix appendix, pistils and neuter projections. G. Pistillate inflorescence with withered spathe. Scale bars: 2 cm.

Arisaema kayahense, habitat in Myanmar (Kayah State, Mt. Shin Phy Taung, Phruso Township, Loikaw District, 12 June 2019).
A. Staminate individuals in three different flowering stages. B. Pistillate individuals at early fruiting stage.

During field exploration to Kayah State, eastern Myanmar, in the early rainy season (June) in 2019, a strange Arisaema (Araceae) growing sideway from crevices of steep limestone rock was discovered. The species is characterized by having a leaf with verticillate leaflets with margins strongly revolute when opening and an inflorescence with a widely triangular ovate spathe blade and a small spadix appendix. Since it did not match any known species of the genus, it is here described as a new species Arisaema kayahense J. Murata. The leaf with verticillate leaflets and the spilodistichous leaf arrangement suggest that this species belongs to sect. Sinarisaema Nakai (Ohi-Toma et al. 2016, Murata et al. 2018).

Arisaema kayahense J. Murata, sp. nov.

Etymology: The specific epithet refers to the name of the state in eastern Myanmar where this species were discovered. Kayah State had been closed for a long time due to its local political situation, and opened only recently to outsiders including foreign nationals.
