Abstract

AbstractA new species of Belonanthus, Belonanthus theodorici sp. nova, is described. It is characterized by spathulate foliage leaves, the ovate blades of which are rather distinctly contracted into a long and narrow sheathing petiole and bear a dense covering with long hairs, giving the surface of the rosette a silvery sheen. In the monothyrsoid inflorescence the peduncles (hypopodia) of the lower partial inflorescences are considerably elongated. – Valeriana micropterina Wedd., V. poterioides Graebn., V. thalictroides Graebn. and V. aspleniifolia Killip are included into Valeriana microptera. – For Valeriana fonkii Phil. and V. radicalis Clos reliable distinctive characters are named. – For Valeriana decussata Ruiz & Pav. virescent calices with green sepals are described and illustrated.
