Una especie nueva notable de Pinguicula (Lentibularianceae) de los estados de Querétaro y San Luis Potosí, México

Abstract

Pinguicula calderoniae is described as a new species to science. It grows on calcareous rocks in the cloud forest in the border of Querétaro and San Luis Potosí states. On account of its bilabiate corolla with long-infundibuliform tube, as long as or shorter than the spur, it is placed in subgenus Pinguicula, section Longitubus. This new taxon is clearly differentiated from other members of this group by its long lanceolatelinear summer leaves, which are unique in the section.

“…The vast richness and uniqueness of the Sierra de Xilitla has attracted the attention of various collectors that have conducted sporadic botanical explorations in the area. As a result, in the last 57 years, 17 plant species have been described from this area (McVaugh 1963, Lundell 1964, Matuda 1966, Landry & Wilson, 1979, Hunziker 1980, Rollins 1993, Rzedowski, 1994, Rzedowski & Guridi-Gómez, 1998, Zamudio 2001, Pérez-Calix & Patiño-Siciliano 2009, Carrillo-Reyes et al 2010, Galván & Zamudio, 2013, Bedolla-García & Zamudio 2015, 2017, Vázquez-García et al 2015Zamudio et al 2018), which highlight the need to conduct exhaustive systematic botanical explorations in the region. In particular, for the genus Salvia Linnaeus (1753: 23) the recent botanical explorations conducted in Sierra de Xilitla have led to the description of two new species: S. carranzae Zamudio & Bedolla (2015: 36), and S. guevarae Bedolla & Zamudio (2017: 6).…”
