Description

Shrubs or trees, 1.5–8 m tall. Leaves chartaceous, petiole 1–3 mm long, lamina 12–31.5 × 3.6–10.3 cm, oblanceolate to narrowly oblong or narrowly elliptic, both surfaces glabrous, base asymmetric or cuneate, apex acuminate, acute, attenuate, primary vein impressed adaxially and raised abaxially, 9–18 pairs of secondary veins, angles between primary and secondary veins 30–45°. Inflorescence 3–8-flowered, in shortened, highly ramified branches, terminal or supra-axillary, bracts rarely persistent, 1.0–1.3 × 0.4–0.5 cm. Flowers with pedicel 3–30 mm long, flower buds 3–6 × 1–2 mm, cylindrical with obtuse apex, covered in trichomes. Sepals completely connate, calyx cupuliform, apex truncate, 2–4 × 1–4 mm, glabrescent. Petals linear, white, 7–7.5 mm long, glabrous, stamens 6, 2.5–3 × 0.5 mm, carpels 3, 2.4–3 × 0.5 mm. Monocarps 1–2, fusiform, 15–45 × 5–8 mm, densely covered in trichomes, immature monocarps whitish in vivo, sessile. Seeds 1–2.

Distribution and habitat

Hornschuchia obliqua is endemic to Bahia, where it occurs in lowland tropical moist forest ( Gouvêa et al. 1976; Thomas & Barbosa 2008; Fig. 5 View Fig ).

Phenology

Flowering from February to October, fruiting from July to November.

Conservation status

Endangered, EN B1ab(i,ii,iii)+2ab(i,ii,iii) ( Amorim et al. 2020b). Hornschuchia obliqua is only known from three localities. It has not been collected in 19 years.

Notes

Hornschuchia obliqua and H. santosii have 3–12-flowered inflorescences, which are axillary, terminal ( Fig. 4D View Fig ) or leaf-opposed. However, H. obliqua differs from H. santosii by its cylindrical floral bud (vs conical), fusiform monocarp, 1.3–6 mm wide, densely covered in trichomes and whitish in vivo (vs globose, 16–19 mm wide, glabrous, green in vivo; Fig. 4E View Fig ). The description of H. myrtillus has been updated ( Johnson & Murray 1995) with information regard the plant size and fruit dimensions.
