Here, we present the newly identified Inosperma macrocarpa and the first record of I. afromelliolens from West Africa. Inosperma macrocarpa is nested in an Old World Tropical clade, based on a molecular phylogeny inferred from the sequences of ITS, LSU, RPB2, and TEF1. Complete descriptions and illustrations, including photographs and line drawings, of the new species are presented. Morphological and molecular analyses based on collections from Benin confirmed the presence of I. afromelliolens in West Africa. Toxicity analysis showed that neither species contained muscarine, which further supports the hypothesis that the ability to produce muscarine is a derived trait of Inosperma.
在这里,我们介绍了新发现的非洲油麻藤和来自西非的第一个非洲油麻藤的记录。根据 ITS、 LSU、 RPB2 和 TEF1 序列推断的分子系统发育树,非洲油麻藤嵌套在一个旧世界热带分支中。我们提出了新物种的完整描述和说明,包括照片和线条图。基于来自贝宁的采集物的形态学和分子分析证实了非洲油麻藤在西非的存在。毒性分析表明,两个物种都不含毒蕈碱,这进一步支持了产生毒蕈碱的能力是非洲油麻藤衍生特征的假说。
