A new species of Cuspidaria is recognized, which occurs in the Cerrado and Caatinga domains from the states of Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Piauí, Brazil.
Abstract
Cuspidaria is a genus of lianas and shrubs with approximately 19 species distributed from Mexico to Argentina and Paraguay. Its complex taxonomy has been investigated using integrative approaches combining molecular and morphological data. A recent phylogenetic study recovered a small clade with a unique combination of characters, distinct from all currently recognized species. Based on a comprehensive review of the protologues, nomenclatural types, and herbarium specimens of morphologically similar taxa, this lineage is here recognized as a new species. The new species of Cuspidaria occurs in the Cerrado and Caatinga domains from the states of Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Piauí, Brazil. A diagnosis, detailed description, illustration, and information on phenology, distribution, habitat, and preliminary conservation status are provided.
Leposoma paschoali sp. nov., closely related to L. annectans, is described from the Atlantic Forest of Bahia, Brazil. The new species can be distinguished from L. annectans by a combination of morphological and karyotypic traits. Extensive sampling and the integration of multiple lines of evidence were essential for as...
