Capparis gialaiensis(Capparaceae), a New Species from Vietnam

Capparis kbangensis (Capparaceae), a new species from central Vietnam

“…The central highlands of Vietnam possesses a rich floristic diversity and includes five provinces namely Lam Dong, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Gia Lai and Kon Tum. Our earlier explorations in these areas have resulted in the discovery of two new Capparis species, namely C. daknongensis and C. gialaiensis (Sy et al 2013(Sy et al , 2015. The present discovery signifies the importance of the highlands of Vietnam and demands more floristic survey and explorations in these areas.…”

“…During our other trips to the same area conducted during 2017-2018, another population with 11 individuals in both flowering and fruiting stage could be traced. After a thorough examination of the type materials housed at HN, K, E, P, CAL and comparison of the morphological features of the collected taxon with all Capparis species from South east Asia (Gagnepain 1908(Gagnepain , 1943Jacobs 1960Jacobs , 1965Chayamarit 1991;Raghavan 1993;Ho 1999;Ban and Dorofeev 2003;Srisanga and Chayamarit 2004;Hu 2007;Zhang and Tucker 2008;Sy et al 2013Sy et al , 2015Sy et al , 2018Fici 2016;Fici et al 2018Fici et al , 2020Souvannakhoummane et al 2018) led us to conclude that our species does not match perfectly with any of the existing Capparis and hence we describe it here as a new species.…”

Capparis (Capparaceae) in Peninsular Malaysia, including a new species and two new varieties

“…Monostichocalyx, distributed from Africa (except the northern part) to Asia, extended to Australia and the Pacific, contains the majority of species in the genus with ca. 110 taxa Srisanga and Chayamarit 2004;Fici 2012Fici , 2021Thuong et al 2013Thuong et al , 2015Thuong et al , 2016Thuong et al , 2017Fici et al 2018;Souvannakhoummane et al 2018). Members of this section have been divided into seven groups, but Peninsular Malaysian taxa fall into four groups as mentioned earlier in introduction.…”

“…Another taxon discovered during the 2014 expedition to Kenaboi Forest Reserve (FR), Negeri Sembilan, also represents an undescribed taxon. After morphological comparison with closely related species (see below) and consulting the relevant literature Chayamarit 1991;Srisanga and Chayamarit 2004;Zhang and Tucker 2008;Fici 2012Fici , 2016Fici , 2021Thuong et al 2013Thuong et al , 2015Thuong et al , 2016Thuong et al , 2017Fici et al 2018;Souvannakhoummane et al 2018;Souvannakhoummane et al 2020), these taxa are here recognised as three new taxa. Subsequently, in the checklist presented here, there are 11 species of Capparis in Peninsular Malaysia, with two subspecies and four varieties; all taxa are members of sect.…”
