Novon publishes short articles whose primary purpose is the establishment of nomencla¬ ture in vascular plants and bryophytes. All articles are peer-reviewed by qualified, indepen¬ dent reviewers.

Manuscripts must fully state and justify the reasons for proposing nova. These may include detailed comparisons with similar taxa, short keys to similar taxa, illustrations to similar taxa, and mechanical nomenclature reasons, among others. Manuscripts whose primary purpose is other than establishment of new nomenclature, which usually are longer manuscripts, cannot be accepted for review. These include reviews, revisions, monographs, or other papers that incidentally include nova.

Manuscripts must follow the guidelines in the Checklist for Authors and be accompanied by a completed copy of the Checklist. The Checklist may be downloaded from the Garden’s web site, www.mbgpress.org, or authors may contact the managing editor to request a copy.

A New Heterophyllous Spermacoce Species (Rubiaceae) from the Marungu Highlands, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Abstract. Spermacoce heteromorpha Dessein (Ru- hiaceac. Spermacoceae) is newly described and illustrated. It grows on the Marungu highlands of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (D.R. Congo) at altitudes of 1800 to 1900 m. The species resembles the Tanzanian Spermacoce taylorii Verdcourt, from which it mainly differs in having terminal inflores¬ cences, only slightly exserted anthers, and densely

features marked heterophylly, with long leaves at ihe

Rubiaceae as a whole. The finding of this species exemplifies the unique floristic richness of this under¬ explored part of D.R. Congo.

Key words: Democratic Republic of the Congo, heterophylly, Marungu highlands, Rubiaceae, Sper-

Spermacoce L. is a pantropical genus of the family

(Dessein et al., 2002; Harwood & Dessein, 2005). Tropical America, tropical Africa, part of Australia are the main centers of diversity. The genus is characterized by its herbaceous growth form, the fimbriate stipules connected to the petioles, the 4-

a single ovule per locule, the often pluriaperturate pollen grains, and the dry dehiscent fruits. Many

of ruderal places. Typical examples are S. latifolia

native to America, but introduced in Africa, Asia, and Australia. Narrow endemics, however, are an element

Our study of Spermacoce from the high plateaus of the Zambezian regional center of endemism, for example, revealed the existence of endemic or disjunct Spermacoce species on the Angolan, Zambian, and

Heterophylly

Heterophylly is not uncommon among woody Rubiaceae (Robbrecht, 1988), but is rarely observed among the herbaceous representatives of the family. Within Spermacoce , it has only been recorded for S. hockii (De Wildeman) Dessein, a perennial from D.R. Congo (Dessein et al., 2003). In this species, long

the caul me leaves are broader and much shorter. During field work in Zambia, we observed that several biannual or short-lived perennial Spermacoce species develop rosettes of basal leaves. This feature was observed in the field for 5. dibrachiata Oliver, .S’.

the basal part is seldom collected. I mentioned species, basal rosette leaves differ only slightly in size and shape from the cauline leaves. In S. heteromorpha, on the contrary, the basal leaves are markedly longer than the cauline ones. The type specimens of S. taylorii Verdcourt also have basal and cauline leaves, but the differences between the two leaf types are minor.

The Marungu high plateau is situated southwest of Lake Tanganyika in D.R. Congo. The name of the plateau is derived from the word “dilungu,” which signifies “herbaceous plateau” (Verbeken, 1954). The name refers to a main feature of the environment, the absence of tree growth in the more elevated areas.

Abstract. A study of morphological characters based on a review of herbarium specimens from Yunnan Province, China, reveals that the following new combination is necessary. The previously recog¬ nized species Erythrina yunnanensis S. K. Lee (Leguminosae) is reduced in rank to variety as Erythrina stricta Roxburgh var. yunnanensis (S. K. Lee) R. Sa.

Key words China, Erythrina, Leguminosae, new

Erythrina L. (Leguminosae) for an upcoming volume of Flora of China, it was noticed that the description of E. yunnanensis S. K. Lee is incomplete and the

species was described by Lee (1993) from specimens from Yunnan Province, China. These collections were similar to E. stricta Roxburgh in flower morphology, especially with respect to the spathaceous calyx. The specimens resembled E. arborescens Roxburgh in their larger leaflets [E. yunnanensis 17-24.5 X 17- 24.5 cm and E. arborescens 8-25 X 8-25 cm vs. E. stricta 7-15 X 7-15 cm), as well as in the sparser distribution of prickles on branches. However, the pod character of E. yunnanensis was not described (Lee, 1993; Lee & Chang, 1995).

author fortunately found fruiting specimens of E. yunnanensis, which strongly resembled E. stricta. Both E. stricta and E. yunnanensis closely resemble each other in flower and pod morphology. The two taxa share a spathaceous calyx and similar pod sizes, with one to three seeds per pod (Table 1).
