Asplenium merapohense (Aspleniaceae), a new species from the Peninsular Malaysia.

ABSTRACT: A new species of Asplenium is described from two collections made on limestone hills in Peninsular Malaysia. Conspicuous by its extremely narrow pinnae, it is probably allied to A. salignum but differs in sufficient characters (scale size, size and shape of lamina, venation and sorus length, position and orientation) to be a species in its own right.

Asplenium pseudocapillipes (Aspleniaceae), a New Fern Species from South Korea.

Project description:A new allotetraploid species of the genus Asplenium, A. pseudocapillipes, originated from the hybridization between A. capillipes and A. tenuicaule, has been newly discovered in two limestone areas of South Korea. A molecular phylogenetic analysis using one chloroplast region (rbcL) and three single- or low-copy nuclear regions (AK1, gapCp, pgiC) and a cytological analysis, including genome size measurements, were conducted to characterize this new species. From these results, the maternal origin of A. pseudocapillipes was confirmed to be A. capillipes, which has never been reported in Korea. All three nuclear data showed that this new species had genotypes of both A. capillipes and A. tenuicaule. The quantitative characteristics of the leaves showed values intermediate between the two parental species. The absence of gemma accorded with its paternal origin from A. tenuicaule, and 32 spores per sporangium accorded with its maternal origin from A. capillipes. Although A. pseudocapillipes has 32 spores per sporangium, it is considered to be a sexually reproducing, not an apomitic, fern.

Coleus (Lamiaceae) in Peninsular Malaysia including two new species.

Project description:In Peninsular Malaysia, Coleus is represented by five species. Two, C.hairulii Kiew and C.rafidahiae Kiew, are new species. Both are narrowly endemic and restricted to limestone hills as is C.kunstleri (Prain) A.J.Paton. All three are Critically Endangered. Coleusscutellarioides (L.) Benth., although widespread, is probably not indigenous. It is also a common ornamental, while C.monostachyus (P.Beauv.) A.J.Paton is a recent introduction that has spread rapidly and threatens to become a troublesome weed.

Codonoboea (Gesneriaceae) in Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia, including three new species.

Project description:Of the 92 Codonoboea species that occur in Peninsular Malaysia, 20 are recorded from the state of Terengganu, of which 9 are endemic to Terengganu including three new species, C. norakhirrudiniana Kiew, C. rheophytica Kiew and C. sallehuddiniana C.L.Lim, that are here described and illustrated. A key and checklist to all the Terengganu species are provided. The majority of species grow in lowland rain forest, amongst which C. densifolia and C. rheophytica are rheophytic. Only four grow in montane forest. The flora of Terengganu is still incompletely known, especially in the northern part of the state and in mountainous areas and so, with botanical exploration, more new species can be expected in this speciose genus.
