E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Putterlickia neglecta, a new species here described and illustrated, is known from South Africa (Mpumalanga and north- eastern KwaZulu-Natal), Swaziland and southern Mozambique. It is considered a near-endemic to the Maputaland Centre of Endemism. Plants grow as a shrub or small tree in savanna and thicket, or in the understory of inland, coastal and dune forests. Vegetatively it superficially resembles P. verrucosa, the species with which it has hitherto most often been confused. Both species have stems with prominently raised lenticels, but P. neglecta differs from P. verrucosa in having sessile to subsessile leaves with mostly entire, revolute leaf margins, flowers borne on pedicels 8–15 mm long, with petals up to 6 mm long and spreading or slightly recurved. Putterlickia verrucosa has leaves with distinct petioles, spinulose-denticulate mar- gins, much smaller flowers borne on pedicels up to 4 mm long, with petals up to 2 mm long and erect or slightly spreading.

Michele Funston Shrubs, sometimes small trees, ascending or clambering, evergreen or deciduous, glabrous, rarely pubescent. Leaves opposite, rarely also alternate or whorled, entire, serrulate, or crenate, stipulate. Inflorescences axillary, occasionally terminal, cymose. Flowers bisexual, 4(or 5)-merous; petals light yellow to dark purple. Disk fleshy, annular, 4- or 5-lobed, intrastaminal or stamens on disk; anthers longitudinally or obliquely dehiscent, introrse.

Morphologically, Psorospermum is very similar to Harungana, which also belongs to Vismieae along with another genus, Vismia. Interestingly, Harungana occurs in both Madagascar and mainland Africa, as does Psorospermum; Vismia occurs in both Africa and the New World. However, the phylogeny of the tribe and the relationship between the three genera are uncertain.

  • Guide to the Euonymus of New York City
    New York City EcoFlora Guide to the Euonymus (Euonymus) of New York City Euonymus is a genus of 130–140 species in the mostly tropical Celastraceae (Staff-Tree) family. The family comprises about 95 genera and 1,350 species. Only three genera occur in the northern hemisphere, Euonymus, Celastrus and Parnassia, all three found or once found in New York City. Euonymus species occur nearly worldwide with most species native to eastern Asia. They are trees, shrubs or woody vines, the stems often angled or winged, sometimes climbing by adventitious roots; leaves deciduous or evergreen, opposite, the blades simple, margins crenate or toothed; inflorescences terminal or axillary; flowers in small clusters, petals usually green, sometimes white or purple; fruit usually brightly colored, lobed capsules; seeds enveloped in brightly colored tissue (aril), often contrasting with the fruit wall. Euonymus (as well as most members of the Celastraceae family) can often be recognized by “gestalt”. The leaves and often the stems too have a distinctive, but somewhat variable yellow-green color that is hard to describe but nearly unlike any other plants. The leaves are usually leathery, and almost always have distinctively scalloped (crenate) margins (the margins rarely completely smooth or toothed). There are four species native to North America, one species endemic to California, Oregon and Washington (Euonymus occidentalis); a predominately Midwestern species (Euonymus obovatus); a widespread northeastern species (Euonymus atropurpureus) and a widespread southeastern species (Euonymus americanus). Two species are indigenous to New York City. The predominately southeastern US species, Euonymus americanus, American Strawberry Bush is endangered in New York State.

  • Reinstatement of Gymnosporia (Celastraceae): Implications for the Flora Malesiana Region
    155 Reinstatement of Gymnosporia (Celastraceae): implications for the Flora Malesiana region Marie Jordaan and A.E. van Wyk Abstract Jordaan, Marie1 and van Wyk, A.E.2 (1National Botanical Institute, Private Bag X101, Pretoria, Republic of South Africa 0001; e-mail: [email protected]; 2Department of Botany, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, Republic of South Africa 0002; e-mail: [email protected]) 2003. Reinstatement of Gymnosporia (Celastraceae): implications for the Flora Malesiana region. Telopea 10(1): 155–167. The reinstatement of the genus Gymnosporia, comprising all the spiny members previously included in the genus Maytenus, has implications for the Flora Malesiana region. An account is given of six species and two varieties in the region (Gymnosporia curtisii, G. diversifolia, G. inermis, G. littoralis, G. nitida, G. spinosa var. spinosa and var. parva). The new combination G. littoralis (Backer) Jordaan is made (based on Gymnosporia montana var. littoralis) and a neotype and lectotype designated for two other taxa. G. emarginata from India and Sri Lanka is also included since this name was previously misapplied to plants in the Flora Malesiana region. Maytenus rapakir is mentioned as probably belonging to Gymnosporia. Maytenus cupularis, which has a racemose inflorescence, is related to the Australian species of Maytenus s. lat. and is retained in Maytenus. Introduction The Celastraceae account for the Flora Malesiana was published by Ding Hou in 1962 and 1964. His genus concepts coincide with those of Exell (1952, 1953), Blakelock (1956), Marais (1960) and Robson (1965, 1966 & 1994) in that he considers Gymnosporia and Maytenus to be congeneric.
