AN AMENDED DESCRIPTION FOR MAGNOLIA ARROYOANA (MAGNOLIACEAE) AND A PROPOSAL FOR THE NEW STENOPETALAE GROUP

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

During recent botanical explorations in the Zamora-Chinchipe Province (Ecuador), a new population of Magnolia arroyoana was registered, and following IUCN criteria, the species is ranked as critically endangered (CR). To update the taxonomy of this species, we provide the first description of its mature flowers and immature fruits, present the first images of all its structures, and provide a current distribution map. Additionally, relationships with other morphologically similar species are discussed, and as a result, we propose the hypothetical morphological group Stenopetalae, within the section Talauma
