Abstract

A new species of the palaeotropical genus S.Moore (Acanthaceae) is described from Daraina region (Loky-Manambato) in northeastern Madagascar, and named I.Darbysh. & Callm. It is compared to the most similar species morphologically, (S.Moore) Benoist, and notes on its habitat preferences and conservation status (extinction risk) are provided — it is assessed using IUCN criteria as Vulnerable [VU D2]. In addition, Benoist var. Benoist from southern Madagascar is re-elevated to full species status and a new combination in is made for this taxon, (Benoist) I.Darbysh. & Callm.
