A REVISION OF BOEA (GESNERIACEAE)

摘要

The genus Boea Comm. ex Lam. is revised. Eleven species are recognised, including the new species Boea morobensis C.Puglisi. A key is provided, all names are typified, and the species are described.Boea Comm. ex Lam. was first described in 1785 by Lamarck, based on material collected and named, but not published, by Commerson. Boea was the first Old World genus with a twisted capsule to be described, and as such, became the genus to which many newSoutheast Asian species with a similar fruit type were ascribed. Most of these species are now assigned to a number of genera that have been distinguished from Boea (Puglisi et al., 2016).
