<p><strong>Taxonomic studies of Araceae in Myanmar I: <em>Typhonium sagaingense</em>, a new Areae species from Sagaing Region</strong></p>

Abstract

A species new to science, Typhonium sagaingense from Sagaing Region, Myanmar, is herein described and illustrated. It is similar to T. albidinervum and T. filiforme but differs in having following characters: trifoliolate leaves, spadix slightly shorter than spathe, fewer yellow staminodes arranged in one whorl and pink appendix. Detailed descriptions, colour plates, illustration, distribution, phenology and ecology of the new species are provided, including a key to all Typhonium occurring in Myanmar.

Taxonomic studies of Araceae in Myanmar VI: Amorphophallus mirabilis – a new species and a new record for the genus Amorphophallus

“…Myanmar, well known for its unique and rich biodiversity, is a country located at the eastern edge of the Indian subcontinent where the Indian, Sino‐Japanese, Southeast Asian and Malesian floristic regions intersect (Traiperm et al 2019, Naive et al 2020). However, inventory‐based botanical field work has still been extremely limited up until the present (Kress et al 2003, Kang et al 2018, Traiperm et al 2019).…”

“…With those discoveries, Myanmar now harbours a total of 17 Amorphophallus species. This paper is the sixth in a series aiming at revising and documenting the diversity of the Araceae family in Myanmar (Naive et al 2020, 2022, Hein and Naive 2021, Naive and Hein 2021, Hein et al 2022).…”
