Abstract
Abatia mantiqueirensis is described and illustrated as a new species with distribution for the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. It is morphologically similar to A. americana but can be distinguished by the presence of canaliculated petiole, acute serrate leaf margin, glands at the apex of the margin serrations that are rounded to concave and projected outwards from the leaf blade, upper portion of the pedicel winged and seeds with tiny dorsal wings. Taxonomic description, comments, and geographical distribution information are here in provided. So far, only three populations of A. mantiqueirensis are known with only one of them recorded in a protected area. Based on the availability of suitable habitats, possible threats and future potential geographical distribution, we propose the conservation status for A. mantiqueirensis as Critically Endangered.
期刊介绍:
Phytotaxa is a peer-reviewed, international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic and taxonomic botany, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs, floras, revisions and evolutionary studies and descriptions of new taxa. Phytotaxa covers all groups covered by the International Code of Nomenclature foralgae, fungi, and plants ICNafp (fungi, lichens, algae, diatoms, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and vascular plants), both living and fossil. Phytotaxa was founded in 2009 as botanical sister journal to Zootaxa. It has a large editorial board, who are running this journal on a voluntary basis, and it is published by Magnolia Press (Auckland , New Zealand). It is also indexed by SCIE, JCR and Biosis.
All types of taxonomic, floristic and phytogeographic papers are considered, including theoretical papers and methodology, systematics and phylogeny, monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues, biographies and bibliographies, history of botanical explorations, identification guides, floras, analyses of characters, phylogenetic studies and phytogeography, descriptions of taxa, typification and nomenclatural papers. Monographs and other long manuscripts (of 60 printed pages or more) can be published as books, which will receive an ISBN number as well as being part of the Phytotaxa series.
