Abstract
LIMA, Luís F. P and POZNER, Raúl. A New Species Of Cyclanthera (Cucurbitaceae, Sicyeae) From Southern South America. Darwiniana [online]. 2008, vol.46, n.2, pp.300-303. ISSN 0011-6793.
We describe and illustrate Cyclanthera oligoechinata (Cucurbitaceae, Sicyeae) a new species from southern Brazil (Paraná), northeastern Argentina (Misiones), and central and southern Paraguay (San Pedro). This new species resembles C. hystrix, C. eichleri and C. quinquelobata, but differs by its almost smooth fruits, and pistillate flowers and fruits on long, slender pedicels. A key to distinguish C. oligoechinata from the closest species is also included.
