Abstract

Review of specimens of Psychotria L. (i.e., Psychotria s. str., Psychotria subg. Psychotria) from Madagascar has revealed some species new to science. Here we describe and provide Red List conservation status assessments for 10 new species of Malagasy Psychotria: P. anosiana C. M. Taylor and P. apomurioides C. M. Taylor are found in humid forest in southeastern Madagascar; P. kuhliana C. M. Taylor, P. luteofructa C. M. Taylor, P. ranomafanensis C. M. Taylor, and P. razakamalalae C. M. Taylor are found in humid forest in central-eastern Madagascar; P. littoralis C. M. Taylor is found in subhumid, littoral and sublittoral forest in northeastern Madagascar; P. malcomberiana C. M. Taylor is found in subhumid, semi-deciduous forest in northern Madagascar; P. parvihama C. M. Taylor is found in wet forest in the Masoala Peninsula of northeastern Madagascar; and P. rakotovaoi C. M. Taylor is found in humid forest in northern and northeastern Madagascar, sometimes at relatively high elevations. Three of these species are assessed as Near Threatened, one as Vulnerable, five as Endangered, and one as Critically Endangered. résumé. L'examen des échantillons d'herbier appartenant au genre Psychotria L. (c'est à dire le genre Psychotria au sens stricte, Psychotria subg. Psychotria) provenant de Madagascar a permis de découvrir plusieurs nouvelles espèces pour la Science. Dans ce présent manuscrit, nous décrivons et fournissons des évaluations préliminaires du statut de conservation selon les critères de la Liste Rouge de l'UICN des 10 espèces de Psychotria de Madagascar: P. anosiana C. M. Taylor et P. apomurioides C. M. Taylor se trouvent dans la forêt humide du sud-est de l'ile, P. kuhliana C. M. Taylor, P. luteofructa C. M. Taylor, P. ranomafanensis C. M. Taylor et P. razakamalalae C. M. Taylor dans la forêt humide du centre-est, P. littoralis C. M. Taylor dans les forêts littorales et forêts sublittorales subhumides du nord-est, P. malcomberiana C. M. Taylor dans la forêt subhumide et semi-décidue du Nord, P. parvihama C. M. Taylor dans la forêt perhumide de la presqu'île Masoala dans le Nord-Est, et P. rakotovaoi C. M. Taylor dans la forêt humide du nord et du nordest. Parmi ces 10 nouvelles espèces, trois sont considerées comme presque menacées (NT), une espèce comme Vulnérable (VU), cinq autres comme "En danger" (EN), et une dernière comme En danger Critique d'extinction (CR).
