Acanthosyris annonagustata (Santalaceae), a new species from Eastern Ecuador

Abstract:

A new species, Acanthosyris annonagustata C. Ulloa and P. Jorgensen, from Napo, Ecuador, is described and illustrated. This species is characterized by its golden brown puberulent inflorescence and fruit. The plant is used in local medicine, and the fruits taste like Annona and are eaten by monkeys. In Ecuador, Acanthosyris is also represented by A. glabrata (Stapf) Stauffer from the dry western forests, a tree that we are also reporting for the first time from Peru.
