Mycetia dagohoyana: a new species of Argostemmateae (Rubiaceae) from Agusan del Norte, Philippines

摘要

A new species of Argostemmateae, Mycetia dagohoyana, thriving in the moist humus soils in open areas of Agusan del Norte, Philippines, is described and illustrated. This new species resembles M. javanica but is distinct by its densely strigose leaf blades, 9-11 mm stipules that are attenuate at apex and glabrous adaxially, subsessile inflorescences in congested thyrse, 2-3 mm calyces that are cupuliform and puberulous, shorter (1-2 mm) and puberulous corolla lobes, and smaller (5-6 mm in diam.) and sparsely hirsute fruits.
