A new species of Struthanthus Mart. (Loranthaceae) from Oaxaca, Mexico

Abstract Struthanthusibe-dzisp. nov. is a new species described and illustrated from the cloud and pine-oak forests of the Sierra Madre del Sur in Oaxaca, Mexico. This species shares similarities of leaf shape and inflorescence type with S.deppeanus, S.quercicola, and S.ramiro-cruzii. However, S.ibe-dzi can be recognized by its glaucous branches, leaves and inflorescences; compressed nodes; convoluted distal half of styles in pistillate flowers; and staminate flowers with asymmetrical thecae and an extended connective forming an apiculate horn in both anther series. A distribution map and an identification key are provided to separate S.ibe-dzi from morphologically similar congeners present in the region.
