Abstract
Weinmannia marquesana F. Br. var. angustifolia Lorence & W. L. Wagner, var. nov., a new variety with narrow, simple leaves endemic to Tahuata, Marquesas Islands (French Polynesia) is described and its affinities and conservation status are discussed. It is similar to the other two varieties of this species by having simple leaves, but this new variety has much narrower leaf blades, and it resembles Weinmannia tremuloides in having narrow leaf blades but differs by having simple, not trifoliolate leaves.
Highlights
Brown (1935) described the simple-leaved Marquesan endemic species Weinmannia marquesana F
Hopkins and Florence (1998) cited three specimens of a narrow-leaved variant occurring on Tahuata under var. marquesana without further discussion, noting that W. marquesana is a variable species “with some intermediates between the two named varieties.”
This new variety occurs in windswept native wet evergreen shrubland or low wet forest on ridge crests from 620 to 850 m elevation, with Crossostylis biflora J
Summary
Brown (1935) described the simple-leaved Marquesan endemic species Weinmannia marquesana F. They described the new variety W. parviflora var. Myrsinites Fosberg & Sachet from Hiva Oa. In their revision of Weinmannia in the Society, Marquesas, and Austral Islands (French Polynesia) Hopkins and Florence (1998) described a distinctive new trifoliolate species, W. tremuloides H.
