A New Species

The new species, Tragopogon anatolicus A.Duran, B.Doğan & Coşkunç. sp. nov. (Asteraceae) is described and illustrated from Cilo Mt. (Hakkari), south-east Anatolia, Turkey. Tragopogon anatolicus is a local endemic, most similar to T. buphthalmoides (DC.) Boiss. Diagnostic morphological characters of these two closely related taxa are discussed. A phylogenetic analysis based on nrDNA ITS sequence data indicated that T. buphthalmoides is the sister species of the new taxon. Ecology, biogeography and conservation status of the new species are also presented.

A new species, Strigula oleistrata, segregated from S. novae-zelandiae is described. The new species is widely sympatric with Strigula novae-zelandiae from which it is separated by a range of morphological characters and also by its nrDNA ITS sequence. As a result of this segregation, a new circumscription of S. novae-zelandiae is also provided. Comments on the ecology and conservation status of both species, and a revised key to the foliicolous Strigula species of New Zealand are provided.

A New Species

The genus Helosciadium has six species of which three have been identified in Portugal: H. nodiflorum, frequent and abundant in much of the territory, and H. inundatum and H. repens, with a scattered distribution in Portugal. In the present study, a new species, Helosciadium milfontinum, a seriously threatened plant endemic, rare and scarce that grows in the temporary ponds of the Vicentinan Coastal District is described and illustrated. Morphological characters and molecular analysis of nuclear internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and plastid regions (matK, rps16-trnK and trnL-F) confirm the existence of this new taxon. Conservation status and taxonomic relationships of the new species are examined.

During the study of Usnea from China, we identified and illustrated a new species, Usnea sulphuridiscoidea S. Y. Guo & L. F. Han from the Ailaoshan Mountain of Southwest China, based on morphological characteristics and nrDNA ITS sequence data. This new species can be distinguished morphologically from other apotheciate members of Usnea by the special lateral apothecia with sulphur disc, the inflated branches with glossy surface and numerous papillae as well as many fibrils, meanwhile lacking pseudocyphellae and soralia. The nrDNA ITS sequence data supported the recognition of the new species.

Begonia fenshuilingensis X.X.Feng, R.K.Li & Z.X.Liu, a new species in Begonia sect. Platycentrum (Klotzsch) A.DC. (Begoniaceae) from southeastern Yunnan, China, is here described and illustrated. It morphologically resembles B. dryadis and B. daweishanensis, but differs by its fleshy trigonous-ellipsoid capsules without wings. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequence data supports the new species as monophyletic, and distinct from the two similar species. Due to its limited distribution, we consider the new taxon as “Vulnerable D2” (VU D2) according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.

Astragalus admirabilus Pyak & E.Pyak (Fabaceae: Galegeae), a new species from a cross-border highland region of Altai Mountains in Russia and Mongolia, is described and illustrated. This species belongs to section Laguropsis. Diagnostic morphological characters for discriminating this new species from closely similar A. zaissanensis and A. dilutus are tabulated. It differs from A. zaissanensis by the colour of the corolla (yellowish-white with purple keel and purple upper part of the standard vs. yellow) and its longer pods (13–14 vs. 10 mm). It differs from A. dilutus by its larger flowers (23–25 vs. 17–20 mm), its shorter peduncles (shorter than leaves vs. equal or longer than leaves) and number of flowers per inflorescence (5–8(–9) vs. 15–20). Notes are presented on the distribution, ecology and conservation status of the new taxon.

Russula buyckii, a new species of Russula (subgen. Incrustatula, sect. Lilaceinae and subsect. Lilaceinae) is described from Eastern Himalaya, India. Its macro- and micro-morphological features are described in detail and compared with those of similar species. Identification and categorization of R. buyckii was supported by the molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the nrDNA ITS sequence data.

A New Species

Phrynobatrachus discogularis sp. nov. (Anura, Phrynobatrachidae) is described from the Eastern Arc Mountains in Tanzania. It occupies upland grasslands and while it morphologically most resembles West and Central African P. gutturosus (Chabanaud, 1921), P. rungwensis (Loveridge, 1932), and P. anotis Schmidt and Inger, 1959, preliminary analysis of mitochondrial 16S rRNA indicates that the new species differs from all other species with published sequence data by a minimum distance of 4.1% and has affinities with P. rungwensis, P. uzungwensis Grandison and Howell, 1983 and P. keniensis Barbour and Loveridge, 1928—all diminutive upland eastern African taxa. The shape and colour of the male’s external gular apparatus distinguish this species from all other described Phrynobatrachus species. Although geographically either sympatric or closely allopatric with P. uzungwensis, the lack of overlapping morphological characters indicates the two forms are distinct species. The new taxon is compared with other species from the region.

Gymnopilus dunensis is described as a new species from Punjab province Pakistan, based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence data and morphological characters. Presence of grey scales on the pileus, slightly radicating and fibrillose stipe that is white at the apex and orange-brown at the base, and its unique phylogenetic position confirm that this is a new species. It is also different to other species of Gymnopilus because it is found in a semi-arid desert environment.

A new species of Neolinocarpon, N. phayaoense was found on a branch of Hevea brasiliensis in northern Thailand. The new species is introduced in this paper, with evidence from morphology and phylogenetic analyses. Descriptions, illustrations and notes are provided for the new taxon. Maximum-likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses of a combined LSU and ITS sequence data clarified the phylogenetic affinity in Neolinocarpon, with the species separated from Linocarpon in Linocarpaceae. Neolinocarpon is morphologically distinct from Linocarpon in having immersed ascomata.
