(2016): Coccoloba tunii (Polygonaceae), a new species from Chiapas (Mexico). Phytotaxa 275 (1): 75-80, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.275.1.9, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.275.1.9
011787CBFF98DB40B2E51E41BE31BEEB.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology: — Coccoloba tunii is a tree growing in cliff faces or disturbed slopes on limestone or sandstone, along banks rivers in tropical dry forests at an elevation of 650 – 1800 m (Fig. 2). It is only known from the physiographic regions Central Depression, and Chiapas Plateau (Müllerried 1957). Conservation status: — Coccoloba tunii mostly occur in the Central areas of Chiapas, in the Biosphere Reserve “ Selva del Ocote ” (IUCN & UNEP, category VI, WDPA 2014) (Fig. 2). On the basis of the available data (IUCN 2012) we can use the criterion B 1. The area of occupancy (AOO) of the new species is less than 2000 km 2, suggesting the inclusion of it in “ vulnerable ” (VU) IUCN criteria. However, considering the number of available herbarium material studied, we assumed the presence of more than six populations over the distributional range of the new species (Fig. 2). Therefore, we considered that C. tunii is in a “ least concern ” (LC) category. Observations: — On the basis of the morphological characters, Coccoloba tunii appears to be similar to C. liebmannii (Table 1). C. tunii differs from C. liebmannii in having elliptic to elliptic oblong or narrowly ovate (vs. oblong to obovate in C. liebmannii), chartaceous leaf blades (vs. coriaceous), shorter racemes, longer pedicels and longer perianth lobes (Table 1). The two species also have different distributional areas (Fig. 2): Coccoloba liebmannii ranges from Colima to Oaxaca as a part of the Floristic Province Pacific Lowlands at elevational range of 0 to 550 m. Only one collection is known from Chiapas (Itié 3878, MEXU). Like C. liebmannii, C. tunii inhabits tropical dry forests but the latter is endemic to Central Depression, and Chiapas Plateau provinces at an elevation range of 650 to 1800 m.
