Abstract

Abstract A new species of Melocactus is described from Puerto Rico. This miniature species, with a stem no more than 70 mm in diameter, is of uncertain affiliation but is unlikely to be a close relative of M. intortus, the only other Melocactus known from Puerto Rico, due to the lack of a pink-coloured stigma, smaller stem dimensions and distinct seed structure. There are morphological similarities with some other Caribbean species: M. lemairei and M. praerupticola of Hispaniola, and M. guitartii (= M. curvispinus) from Cuba.

文章题目波多黎各一种新发现的小型仙人掌属(仙人掌科)

摘要报道了波多黎各一新种。这种微型物种，茎直径不超过70毫米，不确定隶属关系，但不太可能是M. intortus的近亲，这是波多黎各已知的唯一一种Melocactus，因为缺乏粉红色的柱头，茎尺寸较小，种子结构独特。在形态上与其他一些加勒比物种有相似之处:伊斯帕尼奥拉岛的M. lemairei和M. praerupticola，古巴的M. guitartii (= M. curvispinus)。
