Abstract
A new species, Pandanus ankaranensis Callm. & Laivao (Pandanaceae), is described from the karst region of Ankarana in northern Madagascar. It resembles P. grallatus B. C. Stone, another member of Pandanus sect. Mammillares H. St. John occurring in the area. The new taxon can be distinguished by its larger and wider leaves that are persistent on the branches, the stipe often lying on the rocks where plants grow, and its larger syncarps. Pandanus ankaranensis is classified as Vulnerable based on the IUCN Red List criteria.
期刊介绍:
Novon is a quarterly, peer-reviewed botanical journal whose purpose is to publish articles establishing new nomenclature, including new taxa and new names, for vascular plants and bryophytes. Short papers typifying existing names may also be accepted. Lengthy revisions that primarily describe and discuss known species, while publishing nova incidentally, are not appropriate for Novon. Articles may be written in English or Spanish.
