New species Cyrtandra loratiloba exhibits unique corolla lobes and staminodes, highlighting biodiversity.
Summary Cyrtandra loratiloba Bramley is presented here as new to science. Due to its unusually narrow, ‘strap-shaped’ corolla lobes, large staminodes and the atypical insertion of the fertile stamen pair in the corolla mouth at the base of the three, lower corolla lobes, C. loratiloba is immediately distinct from any known Cyrtandra species. A full description, distribution map, illustration, photo plate and preliminary conservation assessment are provided.
