ABSTRACT

Here we describe Bulbophyllum mascarenense sp. nov., a new endemic species from the Mascarenes, and assess its conservation status. This taxon has previously been confused with B. nutans var. nutans and has also been erroneously identified in the Mascarenes as B. minutum auct. non Thouars, the latter a Malagasy endemic. Bulbophyllum mascarenense is known from tropical humid native vegetation between 400 and 1200 m elevation, being abundant on the island of Réunion, but less so on Mauritius. Using the Red List Categories and Criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, this new species should be considered as “Least Concern”.

摘要

在这里，我们描述Bulbophyllum mascarenense sp。十一月，从Mascarenes的新特有物种，并评估其保护状况。此分类单元以前与B. nutans var混淆。坚果，并且在Mascarenes中也被错误地识别为B. minutum auct。非Thouars，后者是马达加斯加人的地方病。Bulbophyllum mascarenense以海拔400至1200 m的热带潮湿原生植被而闻名，在留尼汪岛上盛产，而在毛里求斯则很少。根据国际自然保护联盟的红色名录类别和标准，该新物种应被视为“最不关注”。
