Photos by Brian du Preez. + + + + +Etymology:— +The specific epithet + +praetermissa + +is derived from the Latin word +praetermissus, +meaning overlooked and alludes to how this distinctive species was only discovered fairly recently on private farmland during ecological surveys. + + +Phenology:— +Flowering has been recorded over an extended period, from February to May and from August to February, and plants are most likely to be in flower from September to May. + + +Diagnostic characters:— + +Aspalathus praetermissa + +is a distinctive species of +Dahlgren’s (1988) +Group 1: Sericeae. Species in this group are characterised as shrubs or shrublets of variable size bearing flat weak leaves clothed in sericeous to puberulous pubescence, rarely glabrous or glabrescent. The mostly yellow flowers are borne singularly or in few to many-flowered racemose to spicate and capitate inflorescences, nectar guides in older flowers mostly turning orange. Bracts and bracteoles are always present, well-developed, simple, and flat. Pedicels are short to obsolete. All petals are hairy to some extent ( +Dahlgren 1988 +). + +Aspalathus praetermissa + +is most similar to + +Aspalathus quinquefolia +subsp. +virgata + +, and although these taxa occur sympatrically, the latter has a much wider distribution. + +Aspalathus praetermissa + +differs in having short shoots bearing silvery almost woolly densely-packed flat leaves ( +vs +leaves singular on short shoots, pubescent to glabrescent). Flowers of the new species are 5.5–6.0 mm long and pale yellow ( +vs +7–10 mm +long and bright yellow). The wing petals are pubescent on the entire ventral half and not flared towards the apex ( +vs +pubescent only basally on ventral half to completely glabrous and flared towards the apex). + + + + +Distribution and habitat:— + +Aspalathus praetermissa + +is a restricted local endemic occurring on the coastal plain east of Elandsbaai in the +Western Cape Province +of +South Africa +( +Fig. 2 +). + + +The known distribution lies between Elandsbaai in the west, Paleisheuwel in the east, Leipoldtville in the north, and Redelinghuys in the south, an area of about +150 km +2 +. It was collected for the first time in 2009 by Nick Helme, photographed by Benjamin Walton in 2017, and collected and photographed again at various localities in 2018 by Nick Helme. It grows in deep, acid, low nutrient sands, entirely within the vegetation +type +described by + +Rebelo +et al +. (2006) + +as Leipoldtville Sand Fynbos (FFd2). It occurs at an elevation of +50–200 m +above sea level, and does not occur on steep or rocky slopes. This species is a fire weed (flowering best after fire, and being significantly more abundant in younger veld), and unusually for an + +Aspalathus + +is quite persistent (in low numbers) in veld not burnt for up to 30 years. + + + +FIGURE 2. +Known distribution of + +Aspalathus praetermissa + +. + + + +Conservation status:— + +Aspalathus praetermissa + +faces a noticeably clear threat to its survival from rapid conversion of the natural veld into cropland. The scale of the threat is easily visible from satellite photography taken in 2019 ( +Fig. 3 +). About 70% of the suitable habitat within its known range has been lost to potato and rooibos tea cultivation, mostly within the last 30 years, and the loss is ongoing. + + +The new species does not occur within any nationally protected areas but does occur in a few existing and proposed Contract Nature Reserves, which are privately owned. The population is already heavily fragmented by cultivation, and population size is difficult to estimate, partly because it is significantly less common in veld that has not burned for more than 15 years. As high value crops fragment the landscape, landowners are reluctant to burn the veld and this could result in a failure to recruit in these areas, and some individuals dying from senescence. Based on available data, an Extent of Occurrence (EOO) of +49 km +2 +and Area of Occupancy (AOO) of +16 km +2 +are inferred for this species. These values meet the criteria necessary to be listed as a threatened species based on the IUCN Criteria and Categories ( +IUCN 2012 +). This area is fairly poorly explored by botanists, and more sub-populations may exist in small vegetation fragments, but it is likely that most of the historical distribution range of the species has been lost to crop cultivation. Due to a lack of historical data for this species, population size reduction under criterion A cannot be accurately inferred, but it is likely to be in the range of 70–80 percent. Based on the severely fragmented nature of the area between known sub-populations, lack of fire preventing seedling recruitment, and ongoing habitat loss, we determine that it be Red listed as Critically Endangered (CR: B1ab(i,ii,iii,iv,v)). + + +Additional specimens examined:— + +SOUTH AFRICA +. +Western Cape +: +Sandberg +farm, +Donkieskraal Game Lodge +, + +250 m + +elev, + +07 October 2023 + +, + +L.K. +Madika +, S. +Kritzinger-Klopper +& A. +Ndaba +LK93 + +( +BOL +) + +; + +Bonteheuwel Farm +, farm, + +173 m + +elev, + +28 May 2016 + +, + +B.

In cultivated plants, blooming was observed from September through December. + + + +Conservation status: +— + +This new species is restricted to the Una Natural Biological Station, which is a federal conservation unit. However, the conservation of the species faces challenges due to the expansion of roads, intensifying the edge effect and threatening these bromeliads. The assessment of known occurrences of this species reveals that the estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) covers +170.443 km +², which the area of occupancy (AOO) is +43.5 km +², leading to a classification of this species as Endangered (EN). Although the species is already protected by Brazilian federal laws within the reserve, we recommend a preliminarily classification of this species as Endangered EN B2b (i, ii, iii, iv), following the IUCN criteria guidelines (IUCN, 2020). + + +Observation: +— + +Hohenbergia sparsiflora + +is unique within the genus for the presence of loosely arranged spikes, which clearly distinguish it from other + +Hohenbergia +species. + +This new species is a member of the “giant + +Hohenbergia +species + +group” ( + +Cavalcante +et al. +2020 + +, + +2021 +b + +, 2022, + +Souza +et al. +2022b + +). These species inhabit the coastal region of +Brazil +, especially within the Atlantic Forest domain of +Bahia +. While the rosette of this species shares similarities with other giant + +Hohenbergia +species + +, its sub-erect to arching leaves represents an unusual feature within the genus for this region. This characteristic facilitates a positive identification even when the plant is not in the flowering stage. + + + +Hohenbergia sparsiflora + +is morphologically similar to + +H. hatschbachii + +and both coexist in southern +Bahia +. This new species is easily distinguished by the sparsely arranged flowers along the rachis of the spikes, a partially sunken inflorescence in the rosette ( +vs +. fully exposed), a sparsely white-lanate indumentum in inflorescence ( +vs +. densely brown-lanate) and the small wide triangular floral bracts, not completely concealing the sepals ( +vs +. prominent, triangular and concealing the sepals). Focusing solely on foliage, the brownish leaves ( +vs +. green) is the easiest feature distinguishing + +H. sparsiflora + +and + +H. hatschbachii + +.

The soil is purple sandy soil formed by the weathering of purple sandy conglomerate, with an elevation from +80 to 300 m +above sea level. + + +Phenology +:—Flowering usually from early February to mid-March, fruiting from April to May. + + + + +Etymology +:—The species epithet + +‘ +zhongiana + +’ honours Mr. Jian-Ping Zhong, who first found, collected, cultivated and observed this new species and has made significant contributions to the floristic knowledge of +Zhejiang Province +. The Chinese name of + +Euphorbia zhongiana + +is proposed here as 丹º大ª refering to its main distribution area in Danxia landform of +Zhejiang +. + + +Conservation assessment +:—Although 15 populations of + +Euphorbia zhongiana + +have been found, they are scattered in 3 cities, 5 counties and 12 towns, and their habitats are severely fragmented. Each community covers a very small area, with the exception of Wucheng, which has a populated area of +300 m +2 +; all other communities have an area of only +10–50 m +2 +. It is a custom that the roots were used for medicinal purposes in the Liandu District. If a formal assessment were performed, we suggest + +Euphorbia zhongiana + +that should be considered as vulnerable (VU) based on IUCN Red List ( +IUCN 2022 +). + + +Notes +:—The fleshy root of this species is highly toxic. It is commonly known as "五êaeẑ"["Five Golden Flowers", means it has five yellow primary involucral leaves], "坛壁伤ñ" ["Rock Wall Injury Medicine", means that its root is used in folk medicine to treat traumatic injuries], "kflff" ["Barley Ripens to Death", means that when barley is ripe, it also withers away, indicating the time when it enters the dormancy period] in Liandu District, Lishui City. It is used as folk medicine to treat traumatic injuries. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/8D/36/87/8D368769FFE69B62FF621C8FFF71FBBF.xml b/data/8D/36/87/8D368769FFE69B62FF621C8FFF71FBBF.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..2d53545c0d5 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/8D/36/87/8D368769FFE69B62FF621C8FFF71FBBF.xml @@ -0,0 +1,175 @@ + + + +Description of the new species Mallomonas okhapkinii (Synurales, Chrysophyceae) based on morphological and molecular data + + + +Author + +Martynenko, Nikita A. +0000-0002-7286-003X +A.
