Abstract

Siti Nurfazilah A. R., Ahmad Sofiman O., Mohd Fahmi A. B. & Boyce P. C.: Studies on Hanguana (Commelinales, Hanguanaceae) for Sunda II: Five new forest species from Peninsular Malaysia and recircumscription of Hanguana malayana. — Willdenowia 40: 205–219. — Online ISSN 1868-6397; © 2010 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. doi: 10.3372/wi.40.40206 (available via http://dx.doi.org/)

Field work in Peninsular Malaysia as part of the first author's research into relationships and evolutionary polarity between Hanguana malayana, a widespread freshwater helophyte, and the numerous and mostly undescribed Sundaic forest species has to date resulted in the collection of five distinctive novel forest-dwelling Hanguana species. These are described here and figured in colour. Increased understanding of these and other forest species of Hanguana has enabled a concise delimitation of the taxonomically long-obfuscated colonial helophytic H. malayana, and this is here presented, and the species figured. The current taxonomy of Hanguana is summarised, and a key to the so-far described Peninsular Malaysian species is provided.
