Abstract
A new lithophytic species of Gesneria was discovered during a recent research expedition to the Dominican Republic. Gesneria clasei J.L.Clark is a locally endemic species known from a single population in the Sierra de Bahoruco in the southwestern province of Barahona in the Dominican Republic. Images and a discussion are provided to differentiate Gesneria clasei from congeners that share tubular red corollas. Based on IUCN guidelines, a preliminary conservation status of Critically Endangered (CR) is assigned to G. clasei.
在最近的一次对多米尼加共和国的考察中,发现了一种新的石生植物Gesneria。gerneria clasei J.L.Clark是多米尼加共和国西南部巴拉奥纳省Sierra de Bahoruco的一个单一种群中已知的地方特有物种。提供了图像和讨论,以区分苦苣苔属类从同系物共享管状红色花冠。根据国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)的指导方针,初步将其列为濒危物种。
期刊介绍:
Since 1931, Brittonia, assuming the broadest possible definition of the field of systematic botany, has been an important outlet for the publication of original research articles on anatomy, botanical history, chemotaxonomy, morphology, paleobotany, phylogenetic systematics, taxonomy, and phytogeography. Each issue contains articles by the staff of The New York Botanical Garden and outside contributors, book reviews, and announcements.
