Vazquez	<div><p>Magnolia atlantida A.Vázquez, Recursos Forest. Occid. México 1: 92–94, f. 1.5.1. 2012. (Figs. 2–3)</p> <p>Type:— HONDURAS. Depto. Atlántida: Slopes of Mt. Cangrejal, mountain slopes and coastal plains, vicinity of La Ceiba, 600 ft [183 m.], 06 Aug 1938 (immature fr), Yuncker 8845 (holotype: NY!; isotypes: GH!, MO!).</p> <p>Trees (4–)6–17(–20) m high; twig internodes 0.7–2 × 0.3–1.1 cm, glabrous, green to yellowish, with elliptic lenticels; stipules adnate to the entire length of the petiole, glabrous. Leaves petiolate, petioles (2–)3–6.2 × 0.3–0.5 cm, glabrous, laminas 17–39 × 9–15 cm, ovate to oblanceolate, acute at the base and apex, glabrous, abaxially glossy, 8–11 secondary veins per side. Flowers not seen, inferred from scars, trimerous, peduncle 1.8–2 cm × 1.7–1.9 cm, glabrous, hypsophylls (inferred from scars) 1–2, sepals 3, petals 6, stamens (counted from staminal scars at the staminophore) ca. 305–310, gynoecium ovoid, glabrous, carpels 90–96, flattened at the stylar tip, stylar tips 1.2–1.3 cm long. Fruits (inferred from gynoecium) ovoid, expected to be larger than 10 cm long; seeds unknown.</p> <p>Distribution, habitat and phenology:— Endemic to Honduras, a rare tree at 150–650 m in coastal plains and slopes (Fig. 1; Table 2). The habitat of this species includes primary forests in the Department of Atlántida. Flowering February–March, fruiting August–September.</p> <p>Etymology and ethnobotany:— Refering to the Atlántida Department where the type locality of is located. Known locally in Spanish as magnolia. No ethnobotanical information has been recorded.</p> <p>Notes:— Magnolia atlantida belongs to M. section Talauma subsection Talauma; it is unique in having the largest number of stamens (305–310) among species in this subsection. Magnolia cespedesii (Triana &amp; Planchon 1862: 23) Frodin &amp; Govaerts (1996: 70) also has a large number of stamens (250–275), but M. atlantida differs in having a smaller number of carpels (90–96 vs. 122–137). It has been misidentified as Talauma mexicana (Magnolia mexicana) and as M. sambuensis (Pittier 1918: 105) Frodin &amp; Govaerts (1996: 72). Standley used an unpublished name (no date) for this species, and in 1990 Chin Sung Sang noted that it was a nomen nudum. Flowering and fruiting material are still needed to complement its description.</p> <p>Conservation status:— Critically endangered (CR), according to the IUCN criterion B1ab(iii) (IUCN 2012). Extent of occurrence (EOO) &lt;100 km 2 and area of occupancy is 8 km 2; it is known to exist only in Atlantida Department at two locations: Mt. Cangrejal in Pico Bonito and Nombre de Dios national parks. A continuing decline in extent area and habitat quality has been observed. Its narrow distribution indicates that this species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. It has been recently rediscovered, by Hermes Vega, at Parque Nacional Nombre de Dios, La Ceiba, Atlántida, close to the type locality. This species needs further exploration and urgent protection (Table 1).</p> <p>Additional specimens examined:— HONDURAS. Depto.

Flower buds February–May, flowering March possibly through June, fruiting August, possibly through October.</p> <p>Etymology and ethnobotany: —Honouring Theodore S. Cochrane, a true scholar of botany and long-time, meticulous curator of the University of Wisconsin Herbarium (WIS), who has collaborated with the first author of this paper for many years in many botanical endeavours. Magnolia cochranei is locally known as brotón [meaning shootproducer] (Kelly &amp; Dietzsch BC1/SS7/8482; Dietzsch BA4/SS3/556), orquídea de árbol [orchid tree] (Kelly 11750), aguacatillo amarillo [little yellow avocado tree] (Kelly CO5/MS/945), hoja ancha [broadleaf] (Fritch GU1/MS/886) and amargoso [very bitter] (Lennkh et al. 12/292).</p> <p>Notes: — Magnolia cochranei belongs to M. section Talauma subsect. Talauma. It differs from all other Honduran magnolias in having fewer carpels (7–11). Magnolia cochranei is similar to M. quetzal Vázquez, Véliz &amp; Tribouillier in Vázquez-García et al. (2013b: 1) from Guatemala; however, it differs in having more numerous stamens (72– 82 vs. 40–45), and larger flowers (10–12.5 vs. 8–9 cm in diam.). Magnolia cochranei was first collected in Depto. Comayagua in 1956 by Molina-Rositto, who thought that this was M. yoroconte. Later and independently, MolinaRositto, Burger and Vázquez annotated unpublished names on herbarium specimens of this species. Molina considered this taxon related to Talauma gloriensis Pittier (1910: 94) [M. gloriensis], whereas Burger suggested a relationship to Talauma mexicana [M. mexicana]; however, the two species have more numerous carpels than this taxon (four and five times). Vázquez-García (2012a) formally published this taxon as M. cochranei [as M. cochranii] from scarce material, including a minute flower that opened from a flower bud, and this mislead the author into treating this species as similar to M. morii (Lozano-Contreras 1994: 13) Frodin &amp; Govaerts (1996: 71) (Vázquez-García et al. 2012a). Now, with flower material and pictures available, it is clear that M. cochranei is more similar to M. quetzal than to any other species of M. sect. Talauma subsect. Talauma. This species deserves further study since its mature fruits (either closed or dehiscent) are still unknown. Additionally, differences between populations from Cusuco (broadly ovate to broadly elliptic leaves) and Comayagua and Yoro (lanceolate leaves) may require taxonomic recognition.</p> <p>Conservation status: —Endangered (EN), IUCN criterion B1ab(ii, iii). As this endemic species to Honduras is only known from a few localities in the Departments of Comayagua, Cortés, and Yoro, it must be a target for conservation and research efforts. The estimated known extent of occurrence (EOO) is 4,134 km 2 (Rivers et al. 2016), the deforestation rate is high, its habitat is severely fragmented and there is an ongoing decline in area of occupancy (AOO) and quality of habitat (Table 1).</p> <p>Additional specimens examined: — HONDURAS.

Companion species include Podocarpus oleifolius Don (1824: 20) (Podocarpaceae), Gentlea micranthera (Donnell Smith 1893: 205) Lundell (1968: 69) (Primulaceae), Ilex guianensis (Aublet 1775: 88) Kuntze (1891: 113) (Aquifoliaceae). Vaccinium poasanum Donnell Smith (1897: 395) and Bejaria aestuans Mutis in Linnaeus (1771: 242) (both Ericaceae), the last two have been recorded as components of the canopy in ridge-top bosque enano (elfin forest). Flowering July, fruiting March.</p> <p>Conservation status:— Critically endangered (CR), IUCN criterion B1ab(iii). This species is known from a small number of individuals, apparently sparsely scattered across a restricted geographical area, an extension of occurrence (EOO) of 0.621 km 2, and an area of occupancy (AOO) of 8 km 2 (Table 1). It is recorded within a narrow elevational range, close to the highest levels of the Sierra del Merendón. Its location and elevation make it relatively safe from illegal logging but vulnerable to the impacts of climatic warming.

Flowering late February–late May, fruits dehiscing September.</p> <p>Etymology and ethnobotany:— Honouring Honduras. Local names include: oriconte (Reyna JBL 00654) in El Salvador and cucharo (Molina-R. 13905) and magnolia (Molina-R. 6203) in Honduras. These beautiful trees adorn the misty forests with their brilliant foliage and white fragrant flowers (Antonio Molina-R. preferred the flower of this species as a national symbol for Honduras instead of the orchid Brassavola digbyana because there are several countries in America that have chosen an orchid as a national flower). The flowers of M. hondurensis when boiled release a fragrance of cinnamon. The seeds also have a pleasant scent. The wood is used in carpententry and tillage implements (Molina-Rositto 1974).</p> <p>Notes:— Magnolia hondurensis belongs to M. sect. Magnolia and differs from M. guatemalensis in only a few characters, namely narrower leaves and petals and smaller fruits (Tables 3, 4). Most specimens from the Trifinio region in the confluence of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, have smaller leaves with broadly obovate leaves, and this material may represent an undescribed subspecies.</p> <p>Conservation status:— Least concern (LC), IUCN criterion B1 because it is widely distributed in Honduras and El Salvador.

Leaves petiolate, petioles 2.0–2.8 × 0.2–0.3 cm, without a stipular scar, glabrous, laminas (9.4–)12.0–14.1 × (5.6–) 6.6–8.3 cm, broadly obovate to broadly elliptic, obtuse at the base, obtuse and apiculate at the apex, revolute, glabrous abaxially and adaxially and densely reticulate, 10–11 lateral veins per side. Flowers solitary, fragrant, white, 5.5–6.5 cm diam, flower bud 3.1–2.0 cm, broadly ellipsoid, obtuse at the base, apiculate at the apex, spathaceous bracts 2, mostly glabrous, the margin and outer apex shiny brownish pubescent, peduncular internodes 0.1–0.5 × 0.4–0.6 cm, shiny brownish pubescent, sepals 3, greenish white, 3.3–3.4 × 0.9–1.1 cm, oblong, slightly obovate, glabrous, outer petals creamy white, 3.1–3.2 × 1.5– 1.6 cm, narrowly obovate, wider in upper third, inner petals 2.3–2.4 × 0.9–1.1 cm, narrowly obovate, wider in upper third, creamy white, stamens 38–42 (determined from scars), gynoecium sessile, ellipsoid, greenish, carpels 20–22, blackish after drying, glabrous, stigmas 2 mm long, turning rusty brownish, recurved. Fruit 4.4–4.5 × 2.4–2.5 cm, oblongoid, follicles 1.0–2.0 × 0.8–0.9 cm, apiculate, seeds 1–2 per follicle, 0.9–1.0 × 0.6–0.8 cm, prismatic-triangular, orange-red.</p> <p>Distribution, habitat and phenology:— Endemic to Sierra del Merendón, Cortés Province, (Honduras), in disturbed, mid-elevation broadleaf forest (Fig. 1; Table 2) with low numbers of vines, lichens and epiphytes (ferns and bromeliads) in a disturbed habitat with medium-light competition. Flowering June (flower buds, too).</p> <p>Etymology and ethnobotany:— In honour of local guide, Pastor Cortés, from Buenos Aires de Bañaderos, Cortés Province (Honduras), who assisted on six field expeditions with the second author from 2004. He is outstanding in his knowledge of local plants, his ability as a plant spotter and collector and his skill, conscientiousness and kindness as a guide. No ethnobotanical information has been recorded for the species.</p> <p>Notes:— Magnolia pastorcortesii belongs to M. sect. Magnolia and is the only species of Magnolia in Honduras with broadly obovate leaves (Table 3).</p> <p>Conservation status:— Critically endangered (CR), IUCN criterion B1ab(iii). Although found within Parque Nacional Cusuco, the known extent of occurrence (EOO) is less than 10 km 2 and its habitat is disturbed (Table 1). Only two trees have been recorded (their precise location is not given for conservation purposes), both at the type locality. One tree had an unhealthy appearance: there were three cut-off stumps, and the only stem still standing had severe apex damage; new shoots were observed on stumps and low on the standing tree. There was heavy invertebrate damage to the leaves (leaf-mining, possibly by Agromyzidae fly larvae as indicated by the double frass line; leaf-eating by undetermined agents; and skeletonizing by micro-Lepidoptera); minor damage from woodboring, stem mining and petal eating were also observed. The taller tree was healthy with a straight and symmetrical trunk (forking at eight metres), with low invertebrate damage to the leaves. To our knowledge, M. pastorcortesii is not only extremely rare but also confined to a relatively accessible area. Considering this, we are not publicizing further details of its location.</p> <p>Additional specimens examined:— HONDURAS. Depto.

It is estimated that this species has an extent of occurrence (EOO) &lt;10 km 2, and a continuing decline in the area, extent, and quality of its habitat has been observed. Its particularly narrow distribution indicates this species requires further exploration and urgent protection (Table 1).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EB5C1EDF62FFFA98913054FF0BEA23	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Missouri Bot. Gard. 25: 828–829. 1938 (Figs. 18–20)</p> <p>Type:— PANAMA. Chiriqui: Valley of the upper Rio Chiriqui Viejo, 1800 m., Jul 1937 (fl, fr), G. &amp; P. White 21 (holotype: MO!; isotypes: GH!, MO!).</p> <p>Magnolia sororum belongs to M. sect. Magnolia and differs from the other Central American species by being densely and generally fulvous-pubescent. Magnolia sororum is perhaps closely related to M. iltisiana and M. grandiflora in southeastern North America but differs from M. iltisiana in its fewer stamens, narrower perianth parts, smaller fruits and seeds and from M. grandiflora in its much smaller flowers and fruits and fewer carpels. It is immediately distinguishable from M. poasana (Pittier 1910: 93) Dandy (1927: 263) by its pubescence, broader and longer inner perianth segments and a greater number of carpels, and from M. guatemalensis, which is nearly glabrous with cuspidate leaves and fewer carpels. It is most similar to M. yoroconte based on carpel numbers and the two spathaceous bracts that enclose the flower bud, but it may be easily distinguished by its dense pubescence and larger leaves and flowers. Two specimens from the Yoro Department, Perry 2664 (HJBL) and Perry et al. 101 (TEFH) from Cordillera Nombre De Dios and Locomapa, respectively, do not match any of the two subspecies of M. sororum and, thus, are here proposed as a new subspecies. The fruits and peduncles have similar yellowish pubescence as that of M. sororum subsp. lutea, but they possess smaller fruits with less numerous, non-beaked carpels and shorter peduncles. Based on the conspicuous differences in fruit size, number of carpels, pubescence colour and leaf shape, the species may be divided into three geographically disjunct subspecies as follows, only two of them present in Honduras:</p> <p>Key to the subspecies of Magnolia sororum</p> <p>1. Fruit 2.7–3.4 × 1.7–2.0, carpels 16–18(–20), mature peduncles 1.0- 1.5 cm....................................... M. sororum subsp. oligocarpa</p> <p>– Fruit 5.0–6.0 × 2.4–3.2 cm, carpels 32–45, mature peduncles 2.8–4.4 cm........................................................................................2</p> <p>2. Rusty brown pubescence on abaxial leaf surfaces, young branches, peduncles and (usually) polyfollicles, leaves mostly broadly elliptic to obovate (Honduras, Nicaragua, Panamá)................................................................................ M. sororum subsp. sororum</p> <p>– Pale yellow pubescence on the abaxial leaf surfaces, young branches, peduncles and (usually) polyfollicles, leaves narrowly elliptic to lanceolate (Costa Rica; rare intermediates on Volcán Chiriquí, Panamá).....................................
