Abstract
We describe a new species of Polystemma endemic to Oaxaca, Mexico. Polystemma leopardum is similar to P. cordatum but differs in the shape of the corolla lobes, flower color pattern, shape of the gynostegial corona and stylar head, as well as its specialized habitat. We describe and discuss its morphology and provide illustrations and a distribution map. We propose its conservation status as Endangered under the criteria of the IUCN. This discovery increases the diversity of the genus in the country to ten species.
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.
