Casearia gambiana (Salicaceae), a new tree species from Gambia, West Africa
Tóm tắt
In the synopsis of Casearia Jacq. in West and Central Africa (Breteler 2008) not a single collection of this genus of trees was recorded from Senegal and Gambia. It is therefore a great surprise that a recent collection of Casearia from Gambia proved to represent a new species. It is fully illustrated and named Casearia gambiana. Its conservation status is assessed as Critically Endangered according to the IUCN criteria.
