Abstract
Five new species of Vaccinium from New Guinea are described and illustrated, V. lamii, V. veldkampii, V. argentii, V. superum and V. staufferianum. A detailed diagnosis, morphological comparison to closely related species, ecological data, a preliminary IUCN threat assessment and a distribution map are provided for each new species. Their sectional affiliations in the current subgeneric treatment of Vaccinium are considered and amendments to relevant sections suggested, to accommodate some unusual, for the genus, morphologies.
期刊介绍:
Kew Bulletin is an international peer-reviewed journal for the taxonomy, systematics and conservation of vascular plants and fungi. Papers on conservation, evolution, palynology, cytology, anatomy, biogeography and phytochemistry are considered, where relevant to taxonomy and systematics. Review papers on topics appropriate to the journal are invited. The journal is richly illustrated with line drawings and photographs, and also features a Book Review and Notices section. Four parts (c. 640 pp) are published each year.
