is described as a new species of BegoniasectionLepsia from Cerro Chucantí, Darién Province, in eastern Panama. A study of the literature and herbarium specimens, as well as fieldwork, suggests that the new taxon is distinguished from other species in the section by the combination of the following characters: uniform nodes, stipules persistent, 3.3-6 × 0.8-1.7 cm leaf blades, only two flowers per inflorescence, 12-14 stamens, and fruits with wings of similar shape and size. Images, information on geographic distribution, habitat, and a preliminary assessment of the conservation status of the new species are also provided.
被描述为来自巴拿马东部达连省塞罗楚坎蒂的一种新的秋海棠属莱普西亚组植物。对文献和植物标本馆标本的研究以及实地考察表明,这个新分类群与该组的其他物种的区别在于以下特征的组合:节均匀,托叶宿存,叶片3.3 - 6×0.8 - 1.7厘米,每个花序仅两朵花,12 - 14枚雄蕊,以及果实具形状和大小相似的翅。还提供了图片、地理分布、栖息地信息以及对新物种保护状况的初步评估。
