            <p>A slender scrambling prostrate lithophytic herb with a stem up to 22 or more cm long; roots adventitious, slender, 1 mm in diam. Leaves fleshy, distichous, twisted at the base to lie in one plane, linear-oblong, obtusely obliquely bilobed at the tip mostly with a longer proximal lobe and a shorter distal lobe, of unequal length, 5-11 1-2 mm; unspotted leaf sheaths. Inflorescences axillary, 1-flowered; peduncle terete, slender, 6 mm long; bracts very small, ovate-triangular, acute, up to 2 mm long. Flower resupinate, large for the size of the plant, white; pedicel and ovary 20 mm long. Dorsal sepal erect, somewhat concave, lanceolate, acute, 9 2.5 mm; lateral sepals decurved, falcate, oblonglanceolate, acute, 10-11 3 mm. Petals porrect, narrowly lanceolate, acute, lying each side of the column, 8.5-9 2.5 mm. Lip somewhat deflexed, concave, lanceolate, acute, 10 2.4 mm; spur pendent, somewhat sigmoid-sinuate, narrowly cylindrical, tapering in apical half, 80-100 mm long. Column 2 mm long; anther cap broadly obovoid with an erose apical margin.</p>
            <p> Notes. –  Angraecum darainense , described here, is allied to  A.melanostictum Schltr. (sect.  Pseudojumellea Schltr. ), a species described from the Marojejy Massif, 140 km to the south of Daraina. The new species differs in having a flower with a longer spur, 8-10 cm long, more densely arranged leaves on the longer stems, unspotted leaf sheaths, and a much shorter and narrower leaf blade. </p>
            <p>Distribution. – The species is only known from the Bobankora forest in the Loky-Manambato region in North-East Madagascar. Only 10-20 individuals were observed in the area during the vegetation study of the region.</p>
            <p>Flowering time. – January.</p>
            <p> Habitat and ecology. –  Angraecum darainense was observed close to the ground in evergreen rainforest on large granitic rocks between 520 and 570 m elevation. It grows in forests with canopies reaching 10 to 14 m, with emergent trees reaching 16 m, with two sparse shrub strata at 3 to 4.5 and at 7 to 8 m high, and a very sparse suffrutescent stratum less than 1 m high.The most frequent species recorded together with  Angraecum darainense in vegetation surveys are, in decreasing abundance:  Cynometra commersoniana (DC.) Baill., Treculiaafricana subsp. madagascarica (N. E. Br.) C. C. Berg , one unidentified species of  Dypsis Mart., Ravenalamadagascariensis Adans. and  Scleria boivinii Steud.</p>
            <p>Etymology. – The specific epithet refers to Daraina, the main village located in the central part of the Loky-Manambato region, which is the only known region where the new species occurs.</p>
            <p> Conservation status. – With only one subpopulation included in the Loky-Manambato protected area,  Angraecum darainense is assigned a preliminary status of “Critically Endangered” (CR) following the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN, 2001). This species was collected rather early during the floristic survey, and we expected that several subpopulations should be observed later, because its habitat, the evergreen rainforest, is the third most frequent forest type in this region. It turned out that no additional fertile material of this species was encountered. </p>

            <p>An epiphyte herb on trees with a very short stem; roots adventitious, slender, 1-1.5 mm in diameter. Leaves 4-5, distichous, twisted at the base to lie in one plane, oblanceolateoblong, obtusely obliquely bilobed at the tip mostly with a longer distal lobe and a shorter proximal lobe, 6-8 0.9-2 cm, articulated at the base to a short conduplicate leaf base. Inflorescences much shorter than the leaves, axillary, 1- to 3- flowered, 25-30 mm long; peduncle terete, 10-12 mm long; bracts small, ovate, acuminate, 4-4.5 mm long. Flower resupinate, large for the size of the plant, translucent, white; pedicle and ovary 20 mm long, scabrid. Dorsal sepal curving forwards over the column and lip, linear-tapering, longly caudate, 65-85 3 mm; lateral sepals spreading-decurved, falcate at base, linear-tapering, longly caudate, 55-60 4.5-5 mm. Petals spreading upwards, linear-tapering, caudate, 29-30 5-6 mm. Lip ecallose, somewhat porrect, concave, broadly ovate, caudate, ciliate along the margin of the tapering part, 38-50 20- 22 mm; spur with a broad mouth then narrowly cylindrical, straight, 22-24 mm long. Column 5 mm long, with two recurved lateral arms at the tip, each 2 mm long; anther cap broadly cordiform; viscidia 2, strap-like, 2 mm long.</p>
            <p> Notes. –  Aeranthes unciformis is very distinct in the genus. It has the habit of  A. laxiflora Schltr. , a widespread species in the Mountains of Madagascar, but quite different and much larger flowers. Its flowers are somewhat reminiscent of those of  A.caudata Rolfe but much larger with longer acumens and are borne two or three at a time in a short inflorescence, rather than appearing in succession on slender elongate wiry branching peduncles. The lip is very distinctive, almost transversely elliptic at the base then drawn out and tapering into a long acumen at the tip. The spur, 22-24 mm long, is also much longer than in most  Aeranthes species. The dorsal sepal is very peculiar, curving forwards over the column and lip. </p>
            <p>Distribution. – The species is only known from the type locality in the northern part of the Bekaraoka forest in the Loky-Manambato region in North-East Madagascar. About 20 individuals were observed in the area during the vegetation study.</p>
            <p>Flowering time. – February.</p>
            <p> Habitat and ecology. –  Aeranthes unciformis was recorded in dry deciduous forest close to a seasonal river at 170 m elevation. This epiphytic plant occurs on trunks of trees at 2 to 4 m above ground. It grows in forests with canopies reaching 8 to 12 m, with emergent trees reaching 14 m, with an shrub stratum at 3 to 5 m high, and a sparse suffrutescent stratum less than 0.5 m high. </p>
            <p> The most frequent species recorded together with  Aeranthes unciformis are:  Dracaena xiphophylla Baker ,  Euonymus pleurostylioides (Loes.) H. Perrier ,  Diospyros pruinosa Hiern and  Acalypha aff. perrierii Leandri. </p>
            <p>Etymology. – The specific epithet refers to the morphology of the dorsal sepal curving forwards over the column and lip.</p>
            <p> Conservation status. – With only one subpopulation, included in the Loky-Manambato protected area,  Aeranthes unciformis is assigned a preliminary status of “Critically Endangered” (CE) following the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN, 2001). This species was collected rather early during the floristic survey, and we expected that several other subpopulations should be observed later, because its habitat dry deciduous forest is the most frequent forest type in this region. It turned out that no further fertile material has been collected. </p>
