<i>Foonchewia coriacea</i>, a new combination to replace <i>F. guangdongensis</i> (Rubiaceae)
17 March 2016
Song, Zhuqiu; Xu, DongxianExamination of both specimens and literature has shown that Mycetia coriacea (based on Adenosacme coriacea) has apically dehiscent dry capsules, quite differing from the indehiscent berries of other species of the genus Mycetia. In various characters including the fruits, the species is found to be conspecific with the newly described species Foonchewia guangdongensis, only one species of the genus Foonchewia and the tribe Foonchewieae. Therefore, the new combination Foonchewia coriacea is here proposed to replace F. guangdongensis.
