Barleria lebomboensis (Acanthaceae), an endangered new species from the Lebombo Mountains of Swaziland

View through CrossRef
A new species, Barleria lebomboensis, restricted to the Lebombo Mountains of Swaziland, is described and illustrated. Its affinities to species in Barleria sect. Somalia, particularly B. meyeriana and B. dolomiticola, are discussed. Based upon current knowledge of its distribution, ecology and associated threats, Barleria lebomboensis is assessed as Endangered under criterion B of the IUCN Red List categories and criteria.
