Abstract

Diospyros schatzii Lowry, A. G. Linan & H. N. Rakouth (Ebenaceae), a new species from northeastern Madagascar, is described in honor of George E. Schatz (1953-2024), a renowned expert on the Malagasy flora and a passionate student of the genus Diospyros L. The new species occurs in low- and mid-elevation humid forest at 0-700 m. A preliminary risk of extinction assessment using the IUCN Red List criteria reveals that D. schatzii is Near Threatened (NT). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
