Abstract

Abstract: Oxyspora curtisii King, a newly recorded species of Oxyspora (Melastomataceae)
in China, is reported and illustrated. Allomorphia eupteroton Guillaumin var. teretipetiolata C.
Y. Wu & C. Chen is raised to species rank and relegated to the genus Oxyspora, viz. O.
teretipetiolata (C. Y. Wu & C. Chen) W. H. Chen & Y. M. Shui, which is described further
based on flowering specimens. Scanning electron microscopy images of pollen grains and
seeds support the distinctness of the new species.

Key words: Melastomataceae, Oxyspora curtisii King, new record, Oxyspora teretipetiolata
