Abstract
Piriqueta velutina is described as a new species, illustrated, geographically mapped and its diagnostic characteristics and taxonomic affinities are described. The new species can be recognised mainly by the presence of serial branches (branches from serial buds predominantly in the apical portion of the plant), the short internodes and oblique or erect leaves which partially overlap in dried specimens; the ovate to elliptic leaf blade with a golden brown velutinous indumentum, and the conical or bulbous bases of the glandular setiform trichomes, frequently darkened on young leaf margins and on the abaxial surface. Its conservation status is preliminarily assessed as Endangered, it occurs in Brazilian Cerrado (savanna vegetation), in the Jalapão region, state of Tocantins, North region of Brazil.
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.
