TWO NEW SPECIES IN THE GENUS DUPARQUETIA (LEGUMINOSAE – DUPARQUETIOIDEAE)

Abstract

Two new species in the monospecific genus Duparquetia (Leguminosae–Duparquetioideae) are described: Duparquetia alba and Duparquetia minima. The new species are diagnosed by flower characters such as the presence or absence of glands on the edge of sepals and petals, and the colour, shape and position of the sepals, petals and stamens. Photographs of the new species are provided, as is a key to all species and a map showing their distribution.
