Symplocos saxatilis (Symplocaceae), a new dioecious species from Serra do Cipo, Minas Gerais, Brazil

摘要

Symplocos saxatilis from Serra do Cipo, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, is newly described and illustrated on the basis of field and herbarium studies. It appears to be restricted to 'campo rupestre' (rocky field) habitats. This new species is characterized by its 1- to 3-flowered pedunculate inflorescence, 11 to 14 staminodes of the pistillate flowers, and 0.7-1.5 mm thick endocarp.
