Abstract

Abstract— Four new species of Mandevilla from inselbergs in Espírito Santo, Brazil are described, including illustrations, and maps. Mandevilla declinata resembles M. crassinoda but differs by leaf blades acuminate to long acuminate and longer corolla. Mandevilla fornograndensis is distinguished from morphologically similar species by its yellow corolla. Mandevilla mysteriosa is morphologically similar to M. lucida but differs by its longer petioles, leaf blade characters, shorter corolla tube, and smaller anthers; Mandevilla obovata resembles M. hatschbachii, but it is separated by its puberulent leaves, longer sepals, and white corolla. An informal evaluation of the conservation status according to IUCN guidelines is proposed for each species: M. declinata (VU: D2), M. fornograndensis (VU: D2), M. mysteriosa (VU: D2), and M. obovata (VU: B1ab(i,ii,iii)+2ab(i,ii,iii)). A key to the species of Mandevilla in Espírito Santo is included.
