Chicomendes (Euphorbiaceae, Tragiinae): a new Amazonian genus segregated from Tragia
We propose here a new genus to accommodate Tragia rubiginosa , previously considered endemic to Peru, based on morphological characters, including pollen. A multivariate analysis was performed to assess the dissimilarity of T. rubiginosa in relation to Tragia and the other genera of Tragiinae. In th...

Summary: | We propose here a new genus to accommodate
Tragia rubiginosa
, previously considered endemic to Peru, based on morphological characters, including pollen. A multivariate analysis was performed to assess the dissimilarity of
T. rubiginosa
in relation to
Tragia
and the other genera of Tragiinae. In this paper, we present a detailed morphological description, a full pollen description of the new genus, its geographic and ecological distribution, an identification key for all genera of Tragiinae, and a comparative table of the sections of
Tragia
and the American genera of Tragiinae. |
