Abstract
Euploca wightiana P.Javad & Ancy sp. nov., a new species of the family Heliotropiaceae is described from the Coimbatore district of South India. Morphologically, it is close to Euploca marifolia but differs in having erect (versus prostrate) habit, stem woody throughout (versus stem woody only at base) with dense hairs (versus sparsely hairy), oblong leaves (versus lanceolate) with obtuse apex (versus acute), inflorescence with distantly placed flowers (versus inflorescence with closely placed flowers), a 0.6 mm long cylindrical style (versus style less than 0.3 mm long), a unifid, capitate stigma (versus bifid, conical) and densely hirsute nutlets (versus minutely hairy or glabrous). Detailed descriptions, photo plates, and distribution maps are provided. Differences from morphologically allied congeners are discussed. The status of the new species is provisionally assessed here as ‘critically endangered (CR)' following the IUCN red list categories and criteria.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
