Abstract

Sindora stipitata, a new species in the subfamily Detarioideae (Leguminosae), collected from Nakhon Phanom Province, Thailand, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to S. leiocarpa but differs in its smaller stature (3–5 m high), 6-foliolate paripinnate leaves, falcate persistent stipules, presence of a petal auricle, absence of a petal claw, stipitate ovary and capitate stigma. A key to the Thailand and Malesia species of Sindora is provided.

Highlights

  • Sindora Miq. is a genus in the tribe Detarieae (Detarioideae: Leguminosae) (McKinder 2005)

  • Morphological characters were studied based on living plants observed during a field trip in the northeast of Thailand in the years 2009 to 2016 and from dried herbarium specimens housed in BKF and K

  • The conservation status of the new species was evaluated based on the guidelines of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2017)
