A new species, Acropogon mesophilus Munzinger & Gâteblé (Malvaceae, Sterculioideae), is described from New Caledonia. This species is endemic to non-ultramafic areas, along the southwestern coast of Grande-Terre. The species has large leaves, widely ovate to ovate, and entire, and might be confused with only two other endemic species, namely A. bullatus (Pancher & Sebert) Morat and A. veillonii Morat. However, A. mesophilus differs from the other two species most evidently by its leaves 3-nerved, flat, and with truncate to rounded bases, versus leaves 5-nerved, bullate, and with cordate bases. A line drawing and color photos are provided for the new species, along with a discussion of its morphological affinities and a preliminary risk of extinction assessment of Endangered.

“…They are related genera which were previously placed in the family Sterculiaceae. [4] Sterculia, one of the largest Malvaceae genera, comprises about 300 species. It was named after the Roman god of privies, Sterculius, and the name refers to the unpleasant odour of the flowers of certain species.…”

Objectives Sterculia and Brachychiton are two related genera (Malvaceae) containing more than 300 species. Most of these species are ornamental trees that are native to Australia and widely cultivated in many countries. Different members of the two genera were used by various cultures for medicinal and economical purposes. This review sheds light on the medicinal values and chemical composition of various species of these two genera. Key findings Sterculia and Brachychiton species were used traditionally for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, microbial infection, skin diseases, inflammation and many other conditions. The seeds of various species were roasted and eaten by many traditional tribes. Plants from the two genera revealed their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antiulcer, insecticidal and analgesic activity. These activities may be attributed to the presence of a wide range of secondary metabolites as flavonoids, phenolic acids, coumarins, terpenoids particularly sesquiterpenes and triterpenes in addition to sterols and fatty acids. Moreover, the gummy exudates obtained from some members of these genera played an important role in different pharmaceutical dosage forms and drug-delivery systems. Conclusions More research is recommended on other species of Sterculia and Brachychiton to discover new molecular entities with potential biological and economic values.

“…Female flowers usually have a sessile or subsessile gynoecium developing into an apocarpous fruit of (1 -) 4 -5 (-15) fruitlets or mericarps, the base surrounded by indehiscent anthers. The family is pantropical, with c. 415 species arranged in 13 genera (Cheek 2007j) Pterygota Schott & Endl., a pantropical genus, with dehiscent, woody mericarps containing dry, winged seeds, is in a sister relationship with Cola, while Octolobus Welw., confined to tropical Africa, with numerous spirally inserted indehiscent mericarps, is sister to Pterygota-Cola combined (Wilkie et al 2006). The remaining genera of the Cola clade, Hildegardia Schott & Endl., Firmiana Marsili, Pterocymbium R. Br.…”

Summary. Cola dorrii Cheek sp. nov. is described from Maputaland Sand and Northern Coastal Forest types in KwaZulu-Natal of South Africa. Formerly treated as Cola greenwayi Brenan, it differs in much shorter leaf-blades and petioles, and in the fruitlets which are stipitate, with apices that are rounded and forward-facing. The indumentum has stellate hairs which are soft, with sinuate arms, rather than subscabrid with stiff arms. The species is assessed as Vulnerable using the IUCN 2012 standard due to habitat modification and loss due to humans, elephants and due to the invasive shrub Chromolaena odorata.
