| 5:44a | [Botany • 2023] Crepidorhopalon droseroides (Linderniaceae) • A New and possibly carnivorous Species from Mozambique
Abstract The new species Crepidorhopalon droseroides from Mozambique is described and illustrated. It represents the third strict Mozambique endemic in Linderniaceae, and it differs from all known species of Crepidorhopalon in the long sticky glandular hairs. The hypothesis that the species may be carnivorous is discussed. The Conservation Status is preliminarily assessed.

Summary Petrocosmea qiruniae M.Q.Han, Li Bing Zhang & Yan Liu (Gesneriaceae), a new species from Guizhou, China, is described and illustrated. It is most similar to P. leiandra (W.T.Wang) Z.J.Qiu in leaf blade shape and corolla type, especially in the colour of corolla throat and spots, indumentum of the stamens and the anther and ovary morphology. It was found on humid cliffs in an enormous limestone cave called the Qingxu Cave. In addition, Petrocosmea leiandra, based on P. martini H.Lév. var. leiandra W.T.Wang, originally published with very few descriptive data, is supplemented with more morphological data and a revised description.

Abstract Chamaelirium jiuwanshanense, a new dioecious species of Melanthiaceae from Jiuwanshan National Nature Reserve, Guangxi, China is described and illustrated. It is similar to C. shimentaiense, but can be clearly distinguished from the latter mainly by its dioecious sexual system, linear-lanceolate bract-like cauline leaves, racemes with pedicelled flowers, etc. A detailed morphological description, and the information on its distribution, habitat and conservation status are provided here.
