Increasing the known floristic diversity of Brazilian inselbergs: two new species of Mandevilla (Apocynaceae) from Espírito Santo
Abstract
ABSTRACT Two new species of Mandevilla endemic to inselbergs of the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, are described. Mandevilla alata resembles M. callista but differs by having winged stems, shorter petioles, shorter pedicels, and a white corolla with a red throat. Mandevilla ibitubana resembles M. grazielae but differs by having short-petiolate leaves, a white corolla, and shorter anthers. Illustrations, a distribution map, conservation assessments and a key to species of Mandevilla growing on inselbergs in Espirito Santo are included.
