Eriolaena
Dorr, L.J. & Wurdack, K.J. (2018) A new disjunct species of Eriolaena (Malvaceae, Dombeyoideae) from Continental Africa Phyto Keys 111 1-16
Description of the genus
Shrubs. Leaves simple, stellate hairy, on young growth. Flowers actinomorphic, yellow or white, showy. Fruit a large woody, ribbed capsule, dehiscent. Comment: This genus was thought to be strictly Asian until this species was collected from Pemba Bay in Mozambique. It not only proved to be new but phylogenetic research into its relations to the Madagascan endemic genus showed both genera are best treated as one with Eriolana as the oldest name. Worldwide: C. 15 species in Asia, Madagascar and on in Mozambique Mozambique: 1 taxon. |
