Abstract
Capparis glabrata, a new species belonging to sect. Monostichocalyx, is described from the Kampong Cham and Takeo Provinces of Cambodia. The new species is a shrub characterized by glabrous twigs, straight or slightly recurved stipular thorns, glabrous leaf blade with apex acute or rounded, serial flowers in supra-axillary rows, yellow petals, and ellipsoid, puberulous ovaries with a knob-shaped stigma. It is related to C. echinocarpa, a species occurring in Thailand and northern Laos. The affinities of the new species to related taxa are discussed and a key is provided for all species of Capparis known from Cambodia. The conservation status is provisionally assessed as vulnerable (VU).
期刊介绍：
Since 1931, Brittonia, assuming the broadest possible definition of the field of systematic botany, has been an important outlet for the publication of original research articles on anatomy, botanical history, chemotaxonomy, morphology, paleobotany, phylogenetic systematics, taxonomy, and phytogeography. Each issue contains articles by the staff of The New York Botanical Garden and outside contributors, book reviews, and announcements.
