Abstract
Abstract: Three new species of Isoetes (Isoetaceae) are described from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi for inclusion in the family treatment for the Flore d'Afrique Centrale. Isoetes hallei sp. nov. is related to I. alstonii and I. schweinfurthii, I. rwandensis sp. nov. to I. abyssinica and I. welwitschii, and I. pichisermollii sp. nov. to I. abyssinica and I. schweinfurthii. The differences between these species are discussed and geographical distribution maps for the new species are presented. The conservation status of the new species is preliminarily assessed. The megaspores of the type specimens of I. abyssinica, I. alstonii, I. schweinfurthii and I. welwitschii were studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy to distinguish the new species from the more similar other ones.

期刊介绍:
Willdenowia is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing original research articles in English from the entire fields of plant, algal and fungal systematics, covering the evolution, taxonomy and nomenclature of these organisms as well as related fields such as floristics and plant geography. Articles on phylogeny and molecular systematics are especially welcome, as are review articles. Descriptions of new taxa may be considered, but only if supported by robust evidence. Narrowly regional studies of widespread taxa, routine typifications, checklists and new floristic records are generally not considered (excluding contributions to the Euro+Med-Checklist Notulae). Authors are encouraged to deposit duplicates of their material, especially nomenclatural types, in the Berlin herbarium (B).
