Figure 10.</p><p>Conservation status —Although Symplocos citrea is endemic to Mexico, its distribution extends from the states of Nayarit southeastward to Oaxaca where it grows throughout a wide elevational gradient. It is one of the most commonly encountered species of Symplocos in Mexico and Central America, as evidenced by the over 230 collections that we have examined. Based on these data, we assign a classification of Least Concern (LC) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos citrea is distinguished by the following combination of characters: leaves with the abaxial midvein densely pilose and the margins serrulate, flowers in dense, short racemes, corolla lobes puberulent to sericeous near the apex, ovaries consistently 3-locular, and fruits narrowly cylindric. This species is the most commonly collected Symplocos in western Mexico and is not likely to be confused with any other congeners that grow within its range ( S. hintonii, S. longipes, and S. sousae Almeda [1982b: 255]), all of which are relatively rare and morphologically distinctive.</p><p>Symplocos novogaliciana, described from the Pacific slope of Nayarit and Jalisco, was distinguished from S. citrea by characters of its inflorescences, stamens, and sepals (González-Villarreal 2002). The differences cited included the pedunculate inflorescences of S. novogaliciana (with peduncles up to 20 mm), versus the subsessile fasciculate inflorescences of S. citrea; sepals 3–5 × 1–2 mm, with triangular-attenuate lobes, acute apices, and</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 31 margins with vesicular glands between trichomes in S. novogaliciana, versus sepals 4–6 × 2.5–4 mm, with ovate obtuse lobes, rounded to acute apices, and margins without glands; and a smaller number of stamens in S. novogaliciana (45–50 versus 50–75; González-Villarreal 2002). Most of the distinctions used to recognize S. novogaliciana are unreliable. The shape and the size of the sepals vary throughout the range of S. citrea . Individuals with narrow lobes and acute apices are common, and many individuals have occasional sparse vesicular glands along the sepal margins. In addition, stamen number is highly variable throughout the range of S. citrea . The long peduncles of S. novogaliciana are strikingly different from most individuals of S. citrea, but even this is a conspicuous extreme on a continuum of variation from subsessile to pedunculate inflorescences in S. citrea (inflorescences that are generally condensed racemes, and not at all fasciculate). We thus treat S. novogaliciana as a synonym of S. citrea .</p><p>The only known original material of Symplocos prionophylla was a Ghiesbreght specimen at K that was photographed prior to being sent on loan to MEXU in 2000. This specimen was lost in transit. Based on this K photograph of the specimen and on the protologue, we are confident that S. prionophylla is a synonym of the earlier name S. citrea . We have designated a specimen from Guerrero as the neotype of S. prionophylla because there are few specimens and duplicates of S. citrea from Oaxaca.</p><p>Additional specimens examined — MEXICO.

We assign a classification of Endangered (EN): B2ab(iv) for this species.</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 37 38 • Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press</p><p>KELLY ET AL.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos coccinea is distinguished by the combination of large, solitary flowers with 10–15- lobed corollas and large, hirsute fruits. Symplocos sousae also has large, solitary flowers and prior to its description had been confused with S. coccinea . These species can be separated with the following couplet:</p><p>Corolla lobes 10–15, apically cuspidate to acuminate; fruits hirsute; sepals sericeous; bracts and bracteoles 3–5, caducous, sericeous; styles basally pilose ..................................................................................................................................... S. coccinea</p><p>Corolla lobes 5, apically involute and rounded; fruits glabrous; sepals glabrous; bracts and bracteoles 5–9, persistent, glabrous; styles glabrous ............................................................................................................................................................ S. sousae</p><p>The lectotype of Symplocos coccinea has been selected to correspond with the specimen that is annotated as “ holotype ” on an undated annotation label on the P-Bonpl.-670957 specimen. There is no evidence that Bonpland designated one specimen among the duplicates as the holotype, and there is no published lectotypification, so lectotypification is necessary. We prefer to make this designation in accordance with the labeling of the specimen. The F specimen may be an isolectotype, but there is no collection number (4447) associated with the specimen.</p><p>The collections C. J. W. Schiede 14, 179, and 266, H. G. Galeotti 1684 and 1688, C. Jürgensen 834, “etc.” were cited in the protologue of Symplocos coccinea Bonpl. var. hirta Brand (1901: 80) . We selected H. G. Galeotti 1688 as the lectotype because it is the only collection that we have seen among the syntype collections. We specifically chose the NY specimen of H. G. Galeotti 1688 because, of the specimens that we have seen of this collection, it has the most flowers.</p><p>Turczaninow (1858) described Hypopogon Turczaninow (1858: 246) and its sole species H. brevipes Turczaninow (1858: 246) but later subsumed it under Symplocos (Turczaninow 1863) . Brand (1901) included the species in synonymy under S. coccinea, and the Ghiesbreght specimen is cited in Brand’s index (as S. coccinea var. hirta), but this specimen is not cited in the text of the treatment. We have not located Ghiesbreght 44 and so we are not able to corroborate the application of these names. However, the description of H. brevipes matches Symplocos and in particular S. coccinea in all respects, e.g., solitary flowers with a densely pilose calyx, a red corolla, and 15 petals. We therefore tentatively place H. brevipes in synonymy with S. coccinea . Because Turczaninow worked at KW, it is possible that the Ghiesbreght specimen resides in that herbarium, or another Russian herbarium such as LE.</p><p>Additional specimens examined — MEXICO.

Figure 13.</p><p>Conservation status —S ymplocos costaricana, collected repeatedly over many decades, is known to us from five countries (Guatemala through Panama) and over 80 collections. Based on these data, we assign a classification of Least Concern (LC) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos costaricana is recognized by the combination of entire-margined leaves; glabrous sepals, petals, and styles; and small glabrous fruits. This species is likely a close relative of S. jurgensenii and S. naniflora, both of which have small glabrous fruits, but is easily distinguished from these by its entire leaf margins. Populations of S. costaricana from Panama and Costa Rica are morphologically indistinguishable from specimens collected in Guatemala ( S. blepharodes), Honduras, and El Salvador ( S. molinae).</p><p>In the protologue of Symplocos costaricana, Hemsley cited a single collection, Endress 148, at K. The K holotype has been lost, and is preserved only as photographs at K and NY. We located a single duplicate of Endress 148 at BM (seen by us as a digital image), and therefore we designate this specimen as the lectotype.</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 41 42 • Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press</p><p>KELLY ET AL.</p><p>Additional specimens examined — GUATEMALA.

Figure 14.</p><p>Conservation status —This species is known from just three scattered populations, one in Costa Rica and two in Panama. Two of the three populations are afforded some protection in national parks. The Costa Rican population occurs within Braulio Carrillo National Park, at its western border. Of the two Panamanian populations, only one occurs in a protected area, i.e., along the southern border of La Amistad International Park. The EOO is 25,381 km ² and the AOO is 20 km ². All of the known locations of this species consist of few individuals, certainly &lt;250.

This species is similar to Symplocos tribracteolata in its solitary, 3–4-bracteolate flowers; however, S. elliptica differs by the shape and width of its leaf blades (broadly elliptic to obovate, 1.8–4.3 cm wide versus elliptic to elliptic-oblanceolate, 1.1–2.1 cm wide), 5-lobed corolla (versus 6-lobed), bracteolate peduncles (versus bracts lacking), and the basally pubescent style (versus glabrous or at most sparsely pubescent). The texture and venation of the leaves of S. elliptica suggests a close relationship to S. limoncillo, from which it is readily distinguished by</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 45</p><p>its 1-flowered inflorescences (versus racemose) and smaller fruits (0.4–0.8 × 0.4–0.6 cm versus 1.2–1.8 × [0.8–] 1–1.2 cm).</p><p>Additional specimens examined — COSTA RICA.

It occurs in three protected areas: Parque Natural El Triunfo in Chiapas, Parque Nacional Montecristo in El Salvador, and Celaque National Park in Honduras. Based on these data, we assign a classification of Least Concern (LC) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos hartwegii is distinguished by the combination of solitary (or rarely 2–4) flowers with sericeous sepals and petals, and large fruits. Its relatively small leaves have resulted in its misidentification as S. pycnantha . However, S. pycnantha is readily distinguished from S. hartwegii by racemose or spicate inflorescences (versus 1[–4]-flowered) and smaller fruits (0.6–0.9 × 0.4–0.6 cm versus 2–3 × 1–2 cm). The short-petiolate leaves (3–5 mm long) and much more densely and coarsely pubescent distal branchlets and fruits in the specimens from El Salvador are atypical.</p><p>Three elements were cited in the protologue of Symplocos hartwegii: Guatemala (“ex schedulá in h. Boiss.”), Mexico (“Pav.! in h. Boiss.”), and Santa María (“Hartw.!”). The Hartweg specimen, which we take to be Hartweg 545, was also cited in the same publication as the type of S. cernua Bonpland var. mexicana Candolle (1844: 248), which was validly published and placed in synonymy under S. hartwegii . The only syntype that we have been able to locate is Hartweg 545, which is here designated as the lectotype of S. hartwegii . This action renders S. cernua var. mexicana superfluous.</p><p>The type of Symplocos hartwegii var. opaca was cited in the protologue as occurring at B, with a locality of “ Guatemala: Sacabaja, 1200 m,” which we take to be the specimens of H. T. Heyde &amp; E. Lux 3011. The B specimen of this collection is presumably destroyed. The only other specimen of which we know that is not a mixed collection with S. pycnantha is one at F (accession number 76765). Thus we have lectotypified S. hartwegii var. opaca on this F specimen, with the S. hartwegii elements of other duplicates of this collection established as isolectotypes (e.g., the duplicates at NY and US). The MO duplicate consists entirely of S. pycnantha and thus is not part of the type material of this name.</p><p>Additional specimens examined — MEXICO.

Petioles 0–4 mm long; leaf blades bicolorous, ovate to ovate-lanceolate to elliptic or oblanceolate, 3.5–9 × 2–4.5 cm, subchartaceous, adaxially and abaxially setose-pilose, trichomes 0.5–1.5 mm long, secondary veins adaxially impressed, base rounded to emarginate or subcordate, margins entire, revolute toward base imparting a ± folded aspect to leaves, apex sharply acuminate. Inflorescences 1–2-flowered or rarely 3–5-flowered racemes; peduncles 5–6 mm long, setose-pilose, trichomes 0.5–1.5 mm long; bracts persistent, 1–4 toward base of peduncle, ovate-lanceolate, 2.5–6 × 1–2.5 mm, adaxially sericeous, margins ciliate; bracteoles persistent, 2–4, ovate-lanceolate, 2.5–6 × 1–2.5 mm, adaxially sericeous, margins ciliate. Hypanthium densely sericeous. Calyx lobes 5, subulate-lanceolate, 4.5–9.5 × 1–1.5 mm, appressed-pilose to ± spreading-pilose, margins appressed-pilose to ± spreading-pilose. Corolla pink, 5-lobed, 2–2.5 cm long; tube 8–13 mm long; lobes adnate to filament tube for 11–12 mm, lanceolate, appressed-pilose distally at the acute apex. Stamens 7-seriate; filament tube 12 mm long; distinct portions of filaments 4–5 × 0.5 mm. Disk pilose; style ca. 13–14 mm long, pilose on lower half; stigma irregularly lobed. Fruits green maturing to dark bluish purple, ellipsoid to oblong, 1.5–1.6 × 0.6–0.9 cm, pilose, apex truncate to base of spreading calyx lobes; disk convex, apex partly visible, surpassed by calyx; endocarp 2–3-locular, perimeter rounded.</p><p>Vernacular name —None.</p><p>Illustration — Figure 17.</p><p>Phenology —Flowering May and October; fruiting October.</p><p>Distribution and habitat — Mexico (central Guerrero), in Quercus - Pinus forests and cloud forests at 2500–2600 m elev. Figure 16.</p><p>Conservation status — This species, known from the type and three other collections, is restricted to a narrow elevational belt around Cerro Teotepec in the highlands of Guerrero, Mexico. The EOO is 34 km ² and the AOO is 16 km ². This species has a limited area of occupancy, grows in an area that is subject to deforestation with no official protected status, and the area, extent, and quality of habitat is projected to decline. We therefore assign a classification of Critically Endangered (CR): B1ab(iii, iv) to this species .</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos hintonii is distinguished by the combination of subsessile leaves and large flowers (ca. 2.5 cm long) with lanceolate petals and stamens in seven series. This species is unique among species of Symplocos in the region in having an inflorescence that is positioned under the leaves in the area between the revolute basal margins. This unusual floral presentation is probably an adaptation for hummingbird pollination.</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 51 52 • Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press</p><p>KELLY ET AL.</p><p>Additional specimens examined — MEXICO.

Fruits green maturing to dark bluish purple, ovoid to ellipsoid, 6–10 × 4–7 mm, glabrous, apex rounded or gradually narrowed to the truncate disk; calyx lobes erect; disk convex, surpassing calyx lobes and well exposed; endocarp 3–5-locular, perimeter rounded.</p><p>Vernacular name —None.</p><p>Illustrations — Figure 18; Williams (1967: 265).</p><p>Phenology —Flowering April and November through January; fruiting February, April through July, and September.</p><p>Distribution and habitat — Mexico (Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas), Belize, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, in tropical rain forests in at 0–1600 m elev. Also in Cuba. Figure 19.</p><p>Conservation status —Collections of Symplocos jurgensenii have been made from more than 30 localities in southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, as well as ten additional localities in Cuba. Based on this widespread distribution and coupled with a comparatively broad elevational range, we assign a classification of Least Concern (LC) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos jurgensenii is recognized by its crenulate-margined, bicolorous leaves that are almost black adaxially, small flowers with glabrous petals and styles, and small glabrous fruits. This species is likely a close relative of S. costaricana and S. naniflora, other low elevation species with small fruits and glabrous petals. Symplocos costaricana is distinguished from S. jurgensenii by its entire leaf margins (versus crenulate-denticulate); S. naniflora is most readily separated by its densely pilose styles (versus glabrous or merely sparsely villous at base).</p><p>Symplocos jurgensenii does not differ substantially from S. strigillosa (Krug &amp; Urb.) of Cuba. Other than the flowers and leaves, which average slightly larger in S. jurgensenii, the range of morphological variation appears to overlap completely between the two entities, e.g., in branchlet, leaf, and inflorescence trichome length, leaf shape and margin, and fruit size. On this basis, we thus consider S. jurgensenii and S. strigillosa to be conspecific (see also Fritsch &amp; Almeda, 2015).</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 53 54 • Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press</p><p>KELLY ET AL.</p><p>Additional specimens examined— MEXICO.

Breedlove 12716 (holotype LL!, isotypes DS!, F!, MO!, US!, WIS-n.v., online image!)</p><p>Trees 3–20 m tall; juvenile branchlets and vegetative buds glabrous; mature current-year branchlets green. Petioles 6–9 mm long; leaf blades concolorous, elliptic to oblong, 7–12(–14) × 3.5–5 cm, coriaceous, abaxially glabrous or sparsely strigillose on midvein, adaxially glabrous, secondary veins not adaxially impressed, base acute to obtuse, margins entire or irregularly serrate distally, plane to slightly revolute, apex acuminate. Inflorescences panicles 2.5–9.5 cm long, 4–10-flowered; peduncle 0.5–3 cm long, 0.3–1.2 mm wide; rachis 1–5 cm long, glabrous; bracts caducous, ovate, 0.75–1.25 × 1–1.5 mm, glabrous, margins ciliate; bracteoles caducous, 1(2), linear, 2–2.5 × 0.5–0.75 mm, glabrous, margins ciliate; pedicels 0.7–2.5 cm long. Hypanthium glabrous. Calyx lobes 5, suborbicular, 1–1.8 × 2–3 mm, glabrous, margins ciliate. Corolla white, 5-lobed, 7–10 mm long; tube ca. 1 mm long, adnate to filaments for ca. 1 mm; lobes broadly oblong, glabrous to minutely sericeous. Stamens ± 3-seriate; filaments distinct or connate for ca. 1 mm, 8–10 × 0.2–0.3 mm. Disk glabrous; style 8–10 mm long, glabrous; stigma conspicuously and irregularly lobed. Fruits green maturing to dark bluish purple, cylindrical to ellipsoid, 1.5–2.2 × 0.6–0.7 cm, glabrous, apex obtuse to truncate, with incurved-appressed calyx lobes; disk flat to slightly convex, apex partly visible, surpassed and covered by calyx; endocarp 1(2–3)-locular, septa (when present) thin and delicate, perimeter rounded.</p><p>Vernacular name —None.</p><p>Illustration — Figure 5.</p><p>Photographic image — Figure 1a.</p><p>Phenology —Flowering January, April through June, August, October, and December; fruiting January, April, and September through November.</p><p>Distribution and habitat — Mexico (Veracruz, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas), uncommon in cloud forests at 2000–2800 m elev. Figure 4.</p><p>Conservation status —This species is known from about ten different scattered populations in southern Mexico, none of which occurs in a protected area. The EOO is 135,586 km ² and the AOO is 64 km ². The quality of its habitat is threatened by deforestation throughout its range and thus is projected to be in decline. We assign a classification of Endangered (EN): B2ab(iii) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos longipes is similar to S. culminicola in that both combine the distinctive (mostly floral) features of S. sect. Hopea with predominantly glabrous vegetative and floral structures. The green color of the mature current-year branchlets provides the most reliable vegetative distinction between S. longipes and S. culminicola (which has brown branchlets).</p><p>14 • Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press</p><p>KELLY ET AL.</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 15</p><p>Additional specimens examined — MEXICO.

Because of deforestation threats, the area, extent, and quality of habitat is projected to be in decline, and we assign a classification of Endangered (EN): B2ab(iii) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos naniflora is distinguished by the following combination of characters: membranaceous leaves, small flowers with densely villous styles, and small fruits. This species may be closely related to S. jurgensenii, another low elevation, small-fruited species. Symplocos jurgensenii is distinguished from S. naniflora by its glabrous leaves (versus abaxially pilose), glabrous styles (versus densely villous to within 1 mm of apex), and larger corollas (6–7 mm long versus 4–6 mm).</p><p>Additional specimens examined — COSTA RICA.

Figure 26.</p><p>Conservation status — This species is restricted to southern Mexico where it is known from 11 widely scattered populations in Guerrero and Oaxaca and one collection from the Pico de Orizaba area in Veracruz. It appears that none of these populations occur in a protected area. The single collection by Botteri from the Orizaba region was collected over 130 years ago. Although that area has been protected as Parque Nacional de Orizaba since 1936, we have no information as to whether this species still persists there. The EOO is 100,936 km ² and the AOO is 44 km ². In view of its highly fragmented geographic distribution, restricted elevational distribution, small AOO in unprotected sites with deforestation threats, and projected decline in area, extent, and quallity of habitat, we assign a classification of Endangered (EN): B2ab(iii) to this species .</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos pachycarpa is morphologically most similar to S. citrea . Both species have fasciculate or racemose inflorescences, densely sericeous sepals, petal lobes with sparse apical pubescence, basally pubescent styles, and pubescent ovaries and fruits. Symplocos citrea is most common on the Pacific slope of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, from Nayarit and Jalisco as far east as the State of Mexico and Distrito Federal. It is also present, but less common, in the Sierra Madre del Sur of Guerrero and Oaxaca.

Inflorescences condensed racemes 2–4.3 cm long, 3–7-flowered; peduncle absent; rachis 2–3 cm, sparsely sericeous, trichomes 0.2–0.3 mm long; bracts persistent, lanceolate ovate to ovate, 1.5–2 × 1–2 mm, sericeous, margins ciliate; bracteoles persistent, 3 or 4, lanceolate-ovate to ovate, 1–2 × 1–1.5 mm, sericeous, margins ciliate; pedicels absent. Hypanthium glabrous or sericeous. Calyx lobes 5, ovate, 1–2 × 1–2 mm, sericeous medially or occasionally glabrous, margins ciliate.

Fruits green maturing to dark bluish purple, ellipsoid to ovoid, 2.5–3.5 × 1.2–1.5 cm, glabrous, apex rounded to base of slightly incurved calyx lobes; disk narrowly conical, apex partly visible, surpassed by calyx lobes; endocarp 3–4-locular, perimeter 3–4-fluted.</p><p>Vernacular name —None.</p><p>Illustration — McPherson (1988: 376).</p><p>Phenology —Flowering January, February, April through July, and September; fruiting June through February.</p><p>Distribution and habitat — Costa Rica and Panama, in tropical rain forests and cloud forests at 0–1400 m elev. Also in Colombia and Ecuador. Figure 27.</p><p>Conservation status —Despite its limited range in Central America, this species is commonly collected and several of its known populations occur in protected areas in both Costa Rica and Panama. The species also occurs in Colombia and Ecuador but less is known about the extent of its distribution in those countries because few collections are available. We assign a classification of Least Concern (LC).</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos panamensis is one of the most commonly collected species of Symplocos in Panama and Costa Rica. It is most readily recognized by its large (2.5–3.5 cm long) fruits with an endocarp that is 3-fluted in cross section. It is also recognized by its chartaceous leaves, which are usually conspicuously undulate when dry, densely congested inflorescences, and glabrous to sparsely pubescent sepals and petals.</p><p>Additional specimens examined — COSTA RICA.

Figure 29.</p><p>Conservation status —This species is widespread from southern Mexico south to Nicaragua, where several populations are protected in parks and reserves. Because it is known from over 35 localities and over 120 collections, we assign a classification of Least Concern (LC) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos pycnantha is similar to S. speciosa in its short racemose or spicate inflorescences, sericeous sepals, and small fruits with strigillose pubescence but differs by its broader fruits (4–6 mm wide versus 3–4 mm wide), consistently bicolorous leaves with a dark (often black) adaxial surface (versus usually concolorous yellowish green leaves), and often sericeous petal lobes (versus glabrous).</p><p>Lundell (1938) originally distinguished Symplocos vernicosa from S. matudae by the degree of petal pubescence, but later (1969: 124) stated that “ S. vernicosa appears to be only a less pubescent form of S. matudae .” The available material shows intergradation of petal pubescence, from glabrous (more common in Central America) to moderately sericeous (more common in Mexico), reinforcing the arbitrary nature of the distinction between the two entities.</p><p>In his treatment for the Flora of Nicaragua, Almeda (2001) suggested that Symplocos vernicosa forms part of a complex that includes S. chiapensis, S. matudae, and possibly S. pycnantha and that a better understanding of the each of the species would likely relegate one or more to synonymy. With the wider material available to us, we observe no consistent differences that permit the distinction of any of these species, so they must be recognized as S. pycnantha . It seems likely that neither Lundell nor Williams were aware of this name.</p><p>In the protologue of Symplocos pycnantha, Hemsley cited two collections, Jürgensen 892 and Linden 359, both from “Hb. Kew.” Two sheets each from both of these collections were housed at K; all of these have been lost and are only documented as photographs. We located five duplicates of Jürgensen 892; the specimen BM-939403 is designated as the lectotype because it has many branchlets and good-quality flowers. Additional syntypes that we have found are three specimens of Linden 359 at G (G00359175, G00359174, and G00164228).</p><p>Additional specimens examined — MEXICO.

Petioles 5–14 mm long; leaf blades typically concolorous, yellowish green, rarely slightly bicolorous, brownish green adaxially and yellowish green abaxially, elliptic, 4.3–8.5 × 1.6–2.9 cm, subcoriaceous, glabrous, secondary veins not adaxially impressed, base acute, margins entire, apex retuse. Inflorescences 1-flowered or rarely 2- or 3-flowered; peduncles 8–15 mm long, glabrous; bracts caducous, 1 or 2 toward base of peduncle, ovate to deltoid, 1.5–2 × 1–2 mm, glabrous, margins ciliate; bracteoles caducous, 1 or 2, ovate to deltoid, 1.5–2 × 1–2 mm, glabrous, margins ciliate. Hypanthium glabrous. Calyx lobes 5, ovate, 2–3 × 1–2 mm, glabrous, margins ciliate. Corolla pale violet, 5-lobed, 6–8 mm long; tube connate for 3–4 mm; lobes adnate to filament tube for 3–5 mm, narrowly to broadly oblanceolate, glabrous. Stamens 3–4-seriate; filament tube 2–3 mm long; distinct portions of filaments 2–3 × 0.25–0.6 mm. Disk persistently pilose; style ca. 6.5 mm long, glabrous; stigma irregularly lobed.

(2004: 58).</p><p>Phenology —Flowering February, April, July, and December; fruiting May and July.</p><p>Distribution and habitat — Costa Rica (Pacific slope of the Talamancas) and western Panama, uncommon in moist forests at 1250–3000 m elev. Figure 30.</p><p>Conservation status — Symplocos retusa is restricted to the Cordillera de Talamanca of Costa Rica and westernmost Panama. The species is known from 13 collections representing about nine populations. Only four of these are afforded some protection, one in Costa Rica’s Chirripó National Park and three in Panama’s portion of La Amistad International Park and the contiguous Reserva Forestal de Fortuna. The EOO is 2395 km ² and the AOO is 36 km ². Based on these data, the restricted AOO, and a projected decline in area, extent, and quality of habitat due to deforestation threats, we assign a classification of Endangered (EN): B2ab(ii) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos retusa is easily distinguished by the combination of its glabrous, entire-margined leaves with a retuse apex, solitary purple flowers, and fruit with a conspicuous pulviniform disk that protrudes beyond the persistent sepals.</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 79</p><p>Additional specimens examined — COSTA RICA.

Figure 32.</p><p>Conservation status —Largely confined to southeastern Mexico, Symplocos schiedeana has a fragmented distribution extending from Veracruz and northeastern Oaxaca to Chiapas and north-central Guatemala. The 28 known collections represent some 16 populations, none of which occur in protected areas. The EOO is 117,535 km ² and the AOO is 72 km ². Deforestation threats throughout the region indicate a projected decline in area, extent, and quality of habitat. Based on these data, we assign a classification of Endangered (EN): B2ab(iii) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos schiedeana Schlechtendal (1833: 527) is relatively well collected in Chiapas but represented by very few specimens from Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Guatemala. This species is distinguished by the combination of striate juvenile branchlets, large, glabrous leaves, flowers with glabrous or very sparsely pubescent sepals and densely pubescent styles, and large fruits. The sericeous corolla lobes in the specimens from Oaxaca and Veracruz are atypical for the species.</p><p>Brand (1901) excluded Symplocos schiedeana from his treatment because flowers and fruits are missing from the type material and because, from the general appearance of the plant, he thought that it was unlikely to be included in the American species of Symplocos . From our examination of a leaf fragment at F and three online images of the type material, however, we are confident that this species is one and the same as S. johnsonii published 94 years later. The branchlets of the specimens from the type material of S. schiedeana are glabrous and faintly striate from the petiole bases, the vegetative buds are glabrous, and the leaves are large (17–23 cm long) and obovate. Although open flowers and fruits are lacking on the specimens, young inflorescences are present, and these are sessile or nearly so and multiflowered, with ovate sericeous bracts and bracteoles. These characters all match the type material of S. johnsonii and clearly delimit S. schiedeana from other species.</p><p>No specimens were specifically cited in the protologue of Symplocos schiedeana . Schlechtendal was based at B from 1819–1833 (Stafleu &amp; Cowan, 1985); thus it is likely that the holotype of S. schiedeana was at B and we assume that it has been destroyed. The former existence of a specimen at B is corroborated by Brand (1901), who cited only the specimen “Schiede n. 181 in herb. Berol. ex Mexico.” The specimen at HAL has Schlechtendal’s annotation of “ Symplocos Schiedeana, n. sp.,” and (like the K specimen), has the original collection label of C. J. W. Schiede with locality information that precisely matches that in the protologue of S. schiedeana . Because the HAL specimen is the only sheet among the type material we have seen with the author’s annotation, and because the author was based at HAL from 1833–1866 (Stafleu &amp; Cowan, 1985), we designate the HAL specimen as the lectotype even though it lacks the collection number (181) apparently indicated on the holotype.</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 81 82 • Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press</p><p>KELLY ET AL.</p><p>Additional specimens examined — MEXICO.

Fruits green maturing to dark bluish purple, cylindrical to ellipsoid, 2–3 × 1.5–2 cm, hirsute, apex obtuse or truncate with erect or infolded calyx lobes; disk ± conical, often projecting beyond calyx lobes; endocarp 4–5-locular, perimeter rounded.</p><p>84 • Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press</p><p>KELLY ET AL.</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 85</p><p>Vernacular name —None.</p><p>Illustrations — Figure 33; Bonpland (1808: t. 54 &amp; 55).</p><p>Photographic images — Figures 2a, 2i.</p><p>Phenology —Flowering December through October (peak January through July); fruiting January, September, October, and December.</p><p>Distribution and habitat — Costa Rica and Panama, common in Quercus forests and premontane forests at (1000–)1500–2500(–3000) m elev. Also in Colombia. Figure 34.</p><p>Conservation status —Although Symplocos serrulata is restricted in Central America to Costa Rica and western Panama, it is known there from over 60 collections, and several populations are afforded protection in parks and reserves. It is also widespread in Colombia, occurring from Antioquia south to Huila. Based on these data, we assign a classification of Least Concern (LC) to this species.</p><p>Discussion —Typical specimens of Symplocos serrulata have branchlets with ferruginous trichomes, large leaf blades (12–16 cm long, 6–7 cm wide), open inflorescences (more than 2 cm long), and large flowers (ca. 1.5 cm) with sericeous petals. Typical S. serrulata can be distinguished from typical S. austin-smithii by its branchlet pubescence (ferruginous trichomes versus glabrous), larger leaves (12–16 x 6–7 cm versus 8–10 x 3–4 cm), open inflorescences (versus congested), and sericeous petals (versus glabrous or sparsely pubescent). These differences are maintained in most individuals of the two species, but S. serrulata can be difficult to distinguish from S. austin-smithii in Costa Rica and Panama because of intergradation in these characters. Where distinctions between the two species break down, the most reliable difference is in the structure of the fruit apex: obtuse or truncate with erect or infolded calyx lobes in S. serrulata, versus fleshy fruit lobes with the calyx not evident in S. austin-smithii .</p><p>Symplocos irazuensis was differentiated from S. serrulata by its long inflorescences (ca. 3 cm) and broadly</p><p>86 • Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press</p><p>KELLY ET AL.</p><p>elliptic leaves that are glossy adaxially and glaucous with dense ferruginous pubescence abaxially (Cufodontis, 1933). However, these characters intergrade with S. serrulata and do not serve to clearly distinguish the species.</p><p>The lectotype of Symplocos serrulata is designated to correspond with the specimen that is annotated as “ holotype ” on an undated annotation label on the P-Bonpl.-670958 specimen. There is no evidence that Bonpland designated one specimen among the duplicates as the holotype, and there is no published lectotype, so lectotypification is necessary. We prefer to make this designation in accordance with the labeling of the specimen. The same rationale was used to select the lectotype of S. tomentosa .</p><p>Additional specimens examined — COSTA RICA.

Most of the collections were made in Oaxaca, with one from a nearby locality in Guerrero along its southern border with Oaxaca and three others from Jalisco, two of which are protected in the Reserva de la Biósfera Sierra de Manantlán. The EOO is 68,277 km ² and the AOO is 32 km ². Deforestation threats in many of its known localities indicate a projected decline in area, extent, and quality of habitat. Based on these data and coupled with its fragmented population structure, we assign a classification of Endangered (EN): B1ab(iii) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos sousae can be distinguished by the combination of solitary, sessile or subsessile flowers; persistent, glabrous floral bracts; basally auriculate, glabrous calyx lobes; and large, glabrous fruits. Prior to its description, this species was confused with S. coccinea, which also has solitary flowers and large fruits.

Figure 36.</p><p>Conservation status —Restricted to southern Mexico from Hidalgo and Guerrero to Veracruz and Oaxaca, Symplocos speciosa is known from many localities in a broad elevational belt with good forest cover. It is one of the most commonly collected species in Mexico. Based on these data, we assign a classification of Least Concern (LC) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos speciosa is one of the most commonly collected species of Symplocos in the states of Oaxaca, Veracruz, and Hidalgo, Mexico. It is recognized by the combination of relatively small, elliptic, entire-margined leaves, 3–5-flowered inflorescences with pedicels 3–4 mm long, flowers with sericeous sepals and glabrous petals, and small, ellipsoid fruits.</p><p>Considerable morphological heterogeneity exists in Symplocos speciosa, reflected in the fact that the species falls out three times in the key. In all plants from Hidalgo, Puebla, and Veracruz, the bracteoles are persistent. These plants also have a strigillose leaf midvein abaxially and fasciculate inflorescences, their leaves are concolorous, tending to green or occasionally yellowish green, their bracteoles are usually eglandular (except at the tip), and elevations range from 830–2500 m. In all plants from Oaxaca and Guerrero, the bracteoles are caducous and exhibit two centers of morphological variation. At higher elevations (ca. 2300–2850 m), plants have leaves that are more or less concolorous (green to yellowish green) and typically densely pilose on the midvein abaxially, and also have fasciculate inflorescences, bracteoles that are densely glandular on the margin, and corollas that are 6–10 mm long. Examples of this group are the collections D. E. Breedlove 61934, 64649, and 65992, and R. Cedillo T. 1268 and 1869. At lower elevations (1250–1950 m), plants have leaves that are typically bicolorous (brown or brownish green) and strigillose on the midvein abaxially, and also have more elongated inflorescences, bracteoles that are sparsely glandular or eglandular on the margins (except for an apical gland), and corollas that are 6–7 mm long. The specimens in this group are known only from Oaxaca: J. H. Beaman 5422 and 6229, B. Boyle 666 and 2531, B. Boyle &amp; A. Boyle 3779, F. M. Liebmann 593 p. p., R. López L. &amp; G. Martin 654, M. Nee &amp; G. Martin 32252, R. Ortega O. et al. 4057, and L. Woodruff et al. 206.</p><p>Although morphological variation within Symplocos speciosa is thus extensive, the existence of overlapping characters precludes the recognition of formal taxonomic entities. The D. E. Breedlove 61934 collection (the only collection of S. speciosa known to us from Guerrero) differs from the others in its strigillose leaf midvein abaxially and in this respect resembles the specimens of S. speciosa from Hidalgo, Puebla, and Veracruz. Two specimens in Oaxaca (B. Boyle 2531 and B. Boyle &amp; A. Boyle 3779) with elevations that are intermediate between those of the high- and low-elevation groups there (1950 and 2700 m, respectively) are also morphologically intermediate—they have the characters of the lower elevation group, except that they possess concolorous, greenish leaves that are pilose on the midvein abaxially.</p><p>90 • Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press</p><p>KELLY ET AL.</p><p>A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF SYMPLOCOS</p><p>Phytotaxa 264 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press • 91</p><p>Variation in bracteole persistence is not common within Symplocos species, and is not known to occur to any large degree in any other species from Mexico or Central America. In contrast, the same pilose versus strigillose leaf midvein variation that occurs within S. speciosa is found in the presumably close relative S. breedlovei . A DNA sequence study to assess the taxonomic value of bracteole persistence and the other variable characters in S. speciosa more deeply would seem warranted.</p><p>In the protologue of Symplocos speciosa, Hemsley cited a single collection, H. G. Galeotti 1682. Two sheets of this collection were housed at K; both of these have been lost and are preserved only as photographs at K and NY. Of the many duplicates of this collection, we have designated the specimen G-359173 as the lectotype because it has many branchlets and good-quality flowers.</p><p>Plants that were annotated by us prior to 2008 as Symplocos pycnantha should be referred to S. speciosa .</p><p>Additional specimens examined — MEXICO.

Inflorescences fascicles or racemes 1–2.5 cm long, 3–5-flowered; peduncle absent; rachis 0–5 mm, densely hirsute, trichomes 1–2.25 mm long; bracts persistent, narrowly lanceolate, 2–3 × 1–1.5 mm, densely sericeous, margins densely sericeous; bracteoles persistent, 3–5, lanceolate, 3–5 × 1–1.5 mm, densely sericeous, margins densely sericeous; pedicels 0–5 mm long. Hypanthium usually glabrous or rarely sericeous. Calyx lobes 5, narrowly lanceolate, 4–5 × 1–1.5 mm, densely sericeous, margins ciliate, usually glandular. Corolla white, 8–9- lobed, 1–1.6 cm long; tube 6–9 mm long; lobes adnate to filament tube for 8–11 mm, linear-oblong, glabrous, rounded apically. Stamens multiseriate; filament tube 8.5–12 mm long; free portions of filaments 3–4 × 1–1.5 mm. Disk sericeous; style ca. 14 mm long, pilose on lower ¾; stigma conspicuously and irregularly lobed.

Figure 30.</p><p>Conservation status —This species of the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica is known from 12 collections representing six populations. The population at the La Selva Biological Station is the only one occurring in a protected area. The EOO is 5109 km ² and the AOO is 20 km ². Deforestation threats in the lowlands indicate a decline in the area, extent, and quality of habitat. On this basis, we assign a classification of Endangered (EN): B2ab(iii) to this species.</p><p>Discussion — Symplocos striata is readily distinguished by the combination of densely hirsute buds and branchlets, large serrate leaves that are reticulate on both surfaces, flowers with subulate calyx lobes that are densely sericeous abaxially, and large fruits with a striate endocarp. This species is similar to S. povedae, but can be distinguished by its lack of conspicuously bullate leaf surfaces and white (versus pink) corollas.</p><p>Additional specimens examined — COSTA RICA.
