Abstract

Background and aims – Specimens of a new tree species in the genus Drypetes (Putranjivaceae) distributed in Cameroon and eastern Nigeria, D. stevartii, were associated with D. verrucosa, another tree species endemic to Gabon, due to its warty fruits and to the overall morphological resemblances of both species. Material and methods – The present study is based on the study of 20 gatherings of D. verrucosa and 26 gatherings of D. stevartii. Morphological observations on herbarium specimens belonging to the new species and D. verrucosa were carried out in order to describe them. Key results – This treatment includes the detailed descriptions of these two species, the typification of their names, a comparative table summarizing their main morphological differences, an identification key, photographs of both, as well as information about their distribution, habitat, and phenology. Preliminary IUCN Red List assessments show that both D. verrucosa and D. stevartii are ‘Near Threatened’ species.

疣状物：疣状Drypetes verrucosa（Putranjivaceae，Malpighiales）和来自喀麦隆和尼日利亚的一个新花椰菜物种D.stevartii的分类处理

背景和目的——分布在喀麦隆和尼日利亚东部的Drypetes属（Putranjivaceae）的一种新树种D.stevartii的标本与另一种加蓬特有树种D.verrucosa有关，因为它的疣状果实和两个物种的整体形态相似。材料和方法——本研究基于对20个疣状D.和26个甜叶D.的研究。对属于新种的植物标本和疣状D.verrucosa进行了形态学观察，以描述它们。关键结果——该处理包括对这两个物种的详细描述、它们名称的典型化、总结它们主要形态差异的比较表、识别密钥、两者的照片，以及关于它们的分布、栖息地和酚学的信息。国际自然保护联盟红色名录的初步评估显示，疣状D.verrucosa和甜叶D.stevartii都是“近危”物种。

期刊介绍： Plant Ecology and Evolution is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to ecology, phylogenetics and systematics of all ‘plant’ groups in the traditional sense (including algae, cyanobacteria, fungi, myxomycetes), also covering related fields. The journal is published by Meise Botanic Garden and the Royal Botanical Society of Belgium.
