A new genus of Monimiaceae from the Atlantic Coastal Forest in South-Eastern Brazil

Abstract: A new monotypic genus and a new species of Monimiaceae, Grazielanthus arkeocarpus from the Brazilian Atlantic coastal forest are described, illustrated and compared with morphologically related taxa. The new taxon occurs in the State of Rio de Janeiro in the central coastal plain and was collected in the Poço das Antas Biological Reserve, municipality of Silva Jardim (22°30 ′-22°33 ′ S; 42°14 ′-42°19 ′W). The new taxon is represented by dioecious climbing shrubs of the sub-canopy that have urceolate, four-lobe… Show more

“…Five genera have been previously described for the Neotropical region: Mollinedia Ruiz & Pav., Macropeplus Perkins, Macrotorus Perkins, Hennecartia J. Poisson and Peumus Molina, while a sixth genus, Grazielanthus Peixoto & Per.-Moura was only recently delimited (Peixoto & Pereira-Moura 2008). From a biological point of view, the Monimiaceae is considered a key family for the understanding of the basal groups of angiosperms.…”

“…It is considered a paleo-endemic genus, with distribution limited to areas within the Chapada Diamantina, Espinhaço, Mantiqueira, Mar, and Central Planalto mountains (Santos & Peixoto 2001;Peixoto & Pereira-Moura 2008). Perkins (1898) Macropeplus dentatus is a rare, endemic species that occurs in sparse populations in the Serra do Mar Range in Rio de Janeiro state (RJ) and in the Serra da Mantiqueira Range in São Paulo state (SP), Brazil, while Macropeplus ligustrinus has a wider distribution, with populations found in the understory of riparian forests and valley forests in areas of "cerrado" and "campo rupestre" vegetation in the Cadeia do Espinhaço Range in Minas Gerais state (MG), in the Chapada Diamantina in Bahia state (BA), and in the Serra dos Pirineus Range in Goias state (GO) (Santos & Peixoto 2001).…”

“…Trimeniaceae is excluded from the order Laurales-a decision that is well supported by phylogenetic and morphological studies (Mooney et al 1950;Renner 1999;Renner & Chanderbali 2000;Romanov et al 2007;APG III 2009). Mabberley (2008) recorded 24 genera in the family but the new monotypic genus, Grazielanthus, from the Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Forest has since been described by Peixoto & Pereira-Moura (2008). The family currently comprises 150-220 species of shrubs and small trees in 25 genera (Renner et al 2010).…”
