ABSTRACT

A new species, Geranium cruentum, is described from New Zealand. Geranium cruentum is distinguished from G. brevicaule by its dark green leaves, broadly elliptic to obovate primary lobes with a deep sinus between the lobes, fewer secondary lobes, conspicuous dark reddish purple-brown blotches, and prominent leaf hair bases. Geranium cruentum is known from a single ostensibly wild collection made in 1993 from the Von River valley, Southland, and despite repeated searches has not been re-collected from the wild. It may be extinct in the wild but is cultivated in several gardens. As it persists ex situ in cultivation its conservation status is assessed as Threatened, Nationally Critical, using the New Zealand Threat Classification System.

摘要

新西兰描述了一个新物种天竺葵。天竺葵球藻是区别于G. brevicaule其叶色深绿，宽椭圆形至倒卵形叶主要与叶之间较少的副瓣叶突出头发基地深刻的窦，明显的暗紫红色，褐色斑点，和。天竺葵它是从1993年从Southland的Von River山谷采集的一个表面上看似野生的收藏中得知的，尽管经过反复搜索后仍未从野外重新收集。它可能在野生环境中已灭绝，但在多个花园中都有栽培。由于它在异地种植，因此使用新西兰威胁分类系统将其保存状态评估为“受到威胁，对国家至关重要”。
