Abstract
Three new species of Annonaceae from Venezuela are described here: Cremastosperma venezuelanum Pirie, Klarobelia subglobosa Chatrou, and Pseudomalmea wingfieldii Chatrou. All three are represented by few collections (in comparison to those of other Neotropical species of Annonaceae). Klarobelia subglobosa and P. wingfieldii in particular are only known from a few individual specimens collected in areas vulnerable to habitat destruction. IUCN threat categories are assigned to these species.
Highlights
Klarobelia, Pseudomalmea, and Cremastosperma are three Neotropical genera of the flowering plant family Annonaceae
Klarobelia and Pseudomalmea include a number of species originally assigned to the genus Malmea, as described by Fries in 1905
Of the 19 species originally described under Malmea, 12 were subsequently moved to three new genera described by Chatrou (1998) on the basis of leaf, inflorescence, and seed characters: Klarobelia, Mosannona (14), and Pseudomalmea (3)
Summary
Klarobelia, Pseudomalmea, and Cremastosperma are three Neotropical genera of the flowering plant family Annonaceae. One of Klarobelia (K. subglobosa) and one of Pseudomalmea (P. wingfieldii), both endemic to Venezuela, are described here.
