Capparidastrum tuxtlense (Capparaceae), a new Mexican endemic

Abstract:

We describe and illustrate Capparidastrum tuxtlense, a narrow endemic, known only from the eastern slopes of Volcán San Martín, (10-450 m), Veracruz, Mexico. Capparidastrum tuxtlense is similar to Capparidastrum discolor, but differs by foliar, floral, and fruit characters. A discussion of putative relatives and a key to the Central American species of Capparidastrum are included. © 2009 The New York Botanical Garden.
