In the present paper we publish nine new species and one new subspecies from Borneo, Hoya ariffinii Rodda & S.Rahayu, H. boycei Rodda & S.Rahayu, H. curtisii King & Gamble subsp. collariata S.Rahayu & Rodda, H. dulitensis Rodda & S.Rahayu, H. kaikoeana S.Rahayu & Rodda, H. kapuasensis S.Rahayu & Rodda, H. kerangasensis Rodda & S.Rahayu, H. peltata Rodda & S.Rahayu, H. polypus S.Rahayu & Rodda and H. sangguensis S.Rahayu & Rodda. Five species are endemic to Kalimantan, two to Brunei and one to Sarawak. Only Hoya kerangasensis is found in Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak, and only H. sangguensis is also found outside Borneo in Peninsular Malaysia. With these new species the number of Hoya of Borneo reaches 85 species and four subspecies. long, c. 1 mm diam., pinkish white, glabrous. Calyx lobes broadly triangular, c. 1.5 × 1 apex acute, outside, glabrous inside; basal colleters one at each calyx lobe sinus, oblong, c. 0.1 mm long. Flowers negatively geotropic. Corolla rotate with reflexed lobes, c. 1.5 cm diam. when flattened; tube 1–2 mm long, white inside, pinkish outside, glabrous; oblong, c. 7 × 4 mm, white inside, pinkish outside, glabrous. at the base of staminal c. 1 mm wide, glabrous.

Inflorescence one per node, pseudo-umbelliform, convex, consisting of 9–20 flowers; peduncle extra-axillary, tropism unknown, likely positive, terete, 0.5–1.5 cm long, 1–1.5 mm diam., older peduncles forming a rachis from previous flowerings, pubescent; pedicels filiform, 23–28 mm long, c. 0.5 mm diam., glabrous. Calyx 2.5–3 mm diam., calyx lobes oblong, 0.8–1.1 × 0.4–0.5 mm, apex rounded or acute, dull red, outside sparsely pubescent, inside glabrous, ciliate; basal colleters one at each calyx lobe sinus, ovate, c. 0.1 mm long. Corolla rotate with reflexed lobes, 6–8 mm diam. when flattened, dark crimson; tube 1–1.2 mm long, outside glabrous, inside densely pubescent, glabrescent towards the centre; lobes ovate, 3–4 × 1.8–2.2 mm, apex acute, outside glabrous, inside densely pubescent. Gynostegium sub-sessile. Corona one per node, convex, consisting of 6–10 flowers; peduncle negatively geotropic or laterally held, 2–10 cm long, 1.2– 1.6 mm diam., glabrous; pedicels c. 20 × 1 mm, pubescent.

However, recent field collections and a study of herbarium specimens have uncovered the presence of two taxa hitherto included under the name ‘Boerhavia diffusa’ in Singapore. All material previously identified as Boerhavia diffusa in Singapore is Boerhavia repens L. More recently collected material, however, is the first actual material of Boerhavia diffusa for Singapore and is consequently a new record. A similar misapplication of the name Boerhavia diffusa also applies in Peninsular Malaysia. In light of this nomenclatural confusion pertaining to specimens in Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia, we clarify the use of the name Boerhavia diffusa L., resurrect the use of the name Boerhavia repens L., and provide a taxonomic revision and identification key for Boerhavia in Singapore.","PeriodicalId":216739,"journal":{"name":"Gardens' Bulletin Singapore","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129424367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
