Abstract
A new species of Acanthaceae, Justicia guerrerensis, is described from a limited region of the state of Guerrero in southwestern Mexico. In several morphological characters, it resembles J. ixtlania, a widespread species that occurs in several states to the northwest of Guerrero. A key is presented to distinguish these two species. Images of the holotype and macromorphological features of J. guerrerensis are provided. Additional comparisons between J. guerrerensis and J. ixtlania via SEM images of pollen and a distribution map are also provided.
期刊介绍:
Since 1931, Brittonia, assuming the broadest possible definition of the field of systematic botany, has been an important outlet for the publication of original research articles on anatomy, botanical history, chemotaxonomy, morphology, paleobotany, phylogenetic systematics, taxonomy, and phytogeography. Each issue contains articles by the staff of The New York Botanical Garden and outside contributors, book reviews, and announcements.
