Ormosia viridiflora, a new species of Fabaceae from Guangxi, China
Abstract
A new species, Ormosia viridiflora C.Y. Zou & Yan Liu, from Guangxi, China, is described and illustrated. It differs from its congeners by the following combination of characters: shrubby habit; 5–11 leaflets with caudate apices; glabrous adaxial and subglabrous abaxial leaflet surfaces; tubular calyx; pods with leathery valves and inconspicuous transverse septa; pseudo-peltate standard petal (with basal auricles sheathing the claw apex); and five stamens. Palynological and leaf epidermal features are also documented. A preliminary IUCN assessment of Critically Endangered (CR) is proposed.
