Hemipogon s. str. (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) currently consists of three species sharing an erect herbaceous habit, narrow leaves and corona-less flowers with urceolate, internally bearded corolla, that are mainly distributed in savannahs the Cerrado biodiversity hotspot, South America. Here, we describe illustrate a new Hemipogon, H. trilobatus Bitencourt & Rapini sp. nov., from open savannah Chapada dos Veadeiros, Central Brazil. nov. differs other genus by presence reduced...
Three new species of Marsdenia (Apocynaceae) are described from Brazil: M. paganuccii, known two disjunct populations, one in the Caatinga Bahia and other Atlantic Forest Espírito Santo; paraibana, restricted to Restinga Cabedelo National Paraíba; trisegmentata, populations Caatinga, Ceará. Illustrations, a geographic distribution map comparisons with morphologically similar also presented for each species.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse and threatened tropical forests in world, Rio Doce valley seems to represent a limit between biotas from its southern northern portions. In present study, we investigated distribution Kielmeyera (Calophyllaceae), woody, typically wind-dispersed genus, with high endemism rate Forest. 351 specimens analysed, representing 21 22 species Forest, pointed complete dissimilarity composition (Rio de Janeiro state) (Bahia portions forest. However,...
The taxonomic treatment of the Calophyllaceae from Bahia state, Brazil, is presented here. Four genera and 21 species are recognized: Calophyllum (C. brasiliense), Caraipa densifolia), Kielmeyera (18 species) Mammea (M. americana), which seven endemic to state. Identification keys species, descriptions, comments, illustrations maps geographic distribution in state presented.
Petalostelma is a taxonomically neglected genus of Apocynaceae with only seven species climbing plants and voluble subshrubs the smallest flowers Metastelmatinae (c. 6 mm in diam.), mainly characterized by rotate corolla fleshy gynostegial corona, or without an annular corolline corona. During revision genus, we recognized three new Petalostelma, two which had specimens misidentified as P. sarcostemma, originally known from Argentina. Here, describe illustrate these – andinum, auriculatum...
Kielmeyera ferruginosa, a new species of Calophyllaceae from the Atlantic Forest southern Bahia, is here described and illustrated. The critically endangered can be easily distinguished other by rusty coloration trunk branches, orange-colored latex, occurrence in flooded areas. It differs section Prolifera leaves with secondary veins relatively more distant each prominent on abaxial surface. Diagnostic characters state conservation are discussed, an identification key for K. ferruginosa...
