Description
This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Marcusso, Gabriel Mendes, Biral, Leonardo, Demarchi, Layon Oreste, Zartman, Charles E. (2026): Two new species of Acianthera (Orchidaceae) from the Brazilian Amazon. European Journal of Taxonomy 1043: 103-117, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2026.1043.3211, URL: europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/3211/14243 Abstract.
Acianthera Scheidw. is a genus of Orchidaceae Juss. composed of approximately 300 species, nearly half of which occur in Brazil. To date, only eight species of the genus have been recorded from the Brazilian Amazon. A recent botanical excursion to Serra do Divisor National Park in the state of Acre, in the extreme western portion of the Brazilian Amazon, resulted in the discovery of two new species of Acianthera: A. amazonica Marcusso sp. nov. and A. nukiniana Marcusso sp. nov.
