Abstract

Molineria jashpurica A.P. Tiwari, Mujaffar & A.N. Shukla (Hypoxidaceae), a new species from the Jashpur district of Chhattisgrah, India is described and illustrated. It is closely similar to M. gracilis and M. trichocarpa, but differs by shorter pseudopetiole, broad and glabrous leaf blade, delicate scape, fewer flowers and clavate stigma. A key for identification of all Molineria species is also provided. The conservation status of the new species is assessed as ‘Critically Endangered’ (CR) according to IUCN red list category and criteria.

“…We herewith correct our previous mistake by designating a single gathering as the holotype and quoting the validating diagnosis from Tiwari & al. (2018), thus fulfilling the requirements of Art.…”

“…Because of this technical error, the name of the new species was not validly published in Tiwari & al. ().…”

“…In our previous publication (Tiwari et al ), we proposed the name Molineria jashpurica for a new species from central India. We provided a diagnosis, detailed description, type citation, two figures, information on phenology, ecology, distribution, and conservation status of the new species, an identification key to accepted species and varieties of Molineria , and a comparative table with diagnostic characters of M. gracilis , M. jashpurica and M. trichocarpa .…”
