    DE MACROCARPAEAE GRISEBACH (EX GENTIANACEIS) SPECIEBUS NOVIS : IV: ELEVEN NEW SPECIES OF MACROCARPAEA (GENTIANACEAE: HELIEAE) FROM CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA, AND THE FIRST REPORT OF THE PRESENCE OF STIPULES IN THE FAMILY
    ;
    Weaver, Richard E. Jr
    Progress toward a taxonomic revision of Macrocarpaea (Gentianaceae: Helieae) has revealed numerous novelties in this morphologically diverse and unexpectedly species-rich genus. Eleven new species are here described and illustrated from Central and South America: Colombia (M. nicotianifolia and M. schultesii), Costa Rica (M. auriculata), Ecuador (M. subsessilis), Peru (M. gracilis, M. maguirei, M. wurdackii, and M. zophoflora), and Venezuela (M. ewaniana, M. papillosa, and M. weaveri). Macrocarpaea zophoflora is notable for being the first species to be described of Gentianaceae that is known, or recognized, to have free deciduous interpetiolar stipules. The family was previously defined as exstipulate without exception.

    DE MACROCARPAEAE GRISEBACH (EX GENTIANACEIS) SPECIEBUS NOVIS III: SIX NEW SPECIES OF MOON-GENTIANS (MACROCARPAEA, GENTIANACEAE: HELIEAE) FROM PARQUE NACIONAL PODOCARPUS, ECUADOR
    ;
    Struwe, Lena
    In preparation for the Flora Neotropica monograph of Macrocarpaea (Gentianaceae: Helieae) and recent fieldwork in Ecuador, six new species have been identified and are here described from Parque Nacional Podocarpus and its surrounding areas in Loja and Zamora-Chinchipe provinces. These are Macrocarpaea apparata, M. bubops, M. jensii, M. lenae, M. luna-gentiana, and M. noctiluca. For each new species, descriptions, illustrations, and ecological information are provided. The neotropical montane genus Macrocarpaea has among the highest biodiversity in Ecuador with over 30 species present. The name “moon-gentian” or “genciana de luna” is coined as the common name for the genus Macrocarpaea.

    DE MACROCARPAEAE GRISEBACH (EX GENTIANACEIS) SPECIEBUS NOVIS V: TWENTY-THREE NEW SPECIES LARGELY FROM PERU, AND TYPIFICATION OF ALL SPECIES IN THE GENUS
    In preparation for a monograph of Macrocarpaea (Gentianaceae: Helieae), 23 new species are here described and illustrated: 1 from Colombia (M. biremis), 3 from Ecuador (M. elix, M. gattaca, and M. pringleana), and 19 from Peru (M. canoëfolia, M. dillonii, M. ericii, M. fortisiana, M. innarrabilis, M. jalca, M. kayakifolia, M. kuelap, M. kuepferiana, M. luya, M. normae, M. obnubilata, M. ostentans, M. pajonalis, M. robin-fosteri, M. tabula-fluctivagifolia, M. tahuantinsuyuana, M. wallnoeferi, and M. weigendiorum). A list of all names originally described in, or transferred to, Macrocarpaea as of year 2002 is presented. Lectotypes are selected for 12 taxa as follows: Lisianthus obtusifolius var. constrictus Griseb., Macrocarpaea bangiana Gilg, M. bogotana Gilg, M. calophylla Gilg, M. chlorantha Gilg, M. cochabambensis Gilg-Ben., M. glaziovii Gilg, M. hartii Krug & Urb., M. micrantha Gilg, M. pachyphylla Gilg, M. polyantha Gilg, and M. rubra Malme. A neotype is selected for M. duquei Gilg-Ben., and M. weberbaueri Gilg is excluded from use.

    YANOMAMUA ARACA (GENTIANACEAE), A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES FROM SERRA DO ARAÇÁ, AN OUTLIER OF THE GUAYANA REGION IN AMAZONAS STATE, BRAZIL

    Yanomamua araca is described as a new genus and species from Serra do Araçá, an outlier of the Guayana Region in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Yanomamua is unique in the Gentianaceae as an herb with sessile subcordate pandurate (fiddle-shaped) leaves, and inflorescences composed of oppositely paired solitary flowers situated in the axils of the upper three leaf pairs. Only limited material is available, and flower morphology is unknown. A phylogenetic approach was used to investigate possible relationships to other genera in Helieae, which yielded a likely relationship to several genera in the Symbolanthus-Chelonanthus clade but not a strong relationship to any particular genus. Instead it appears that this genus might represent a more internal, older branch within the tribe.
