Abstract

Ledermanniella prasina, J. Schenk & D. W. Thomas in the family Podostemaceae, sub-genus Ledermanniella, is proposed as a new species. It is known only from its type, collected at a single waterfall in Cameroon. The ecology, morphology, and variation among individuals are discussed. The new species is compared to the morphologically similar L. bifurcata, L. bowlingii, L. guineensis, L. jaegeri, L. minutissima, and L. monandra. Illustrations and a key to the monostaminate species in the sub-genus are provided.
