Silva et al. 10 (EAN!).</p><p>Conservation status: According to IUCN criteria, despite occurring in an anthropic area, we consider the conservation status of I. buriliae as Data Deficient (DD) since it is known only from the type locality.</p><p>Taxonomic notes: Ipomoea buriliae resembles several species found in northeastern Brazil, such as I. alba L. and I. marcellia Meisn., which share characteristics like a white corolla, prominent veins on the leaf blade, and indumentum on the stem, leaves, petiole, and peduncle. However, reproductive characters play a significant role in distinguishing these taxa, particularly corolla shape, the color of the abaxial mesopetal region, and sepal shape (see Table 2).</p><p>Anatomical notes: In the paradermic section and the frontal view, the epidermis of I. buriliae presents cells with straight anticlinal walls on the adaxial surface (Fig. 4a), and sinuous on the abaxial surface (Fig. 4b), with druses restricted to the adaxial surface (Fig. 4a). The distribution of stomata is amphihypostomatic, with paracytic and anisocytic stomata and stomatal grouping (Fig. 4c). Tector and glandular trichomes occur on both epidermal surfaces (Fig. 4a &amp; b). In cross-section, the epidermis is uniseriate (Fig. 4d), with oval to rectangular cells and external periclinal walls covered by a smooth cuticle. The leaf blade has an asymmetric dorsiventral mesophyll (Fig. 4d), presenting biseriate palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma 1-3 stratum seriate. Also in the mesophyll, idioblasts containing druses (Fig. 4e), laticiferous canals (Fig. 4f), and prismatic crystals in the palisade parenchyma were observed (Fig. 4f). The main midrib, in cross-section, exhibits a biconvex contour (Fig. 4g), prominently wider on the abaxial surface. The epidermis is uniseriate, with tector trichomes. Underlying the epidermis is the lacunar collenchyma (Fig. 4h). Further internally, the fundamental parenchyma consists of isodiametric circular cells with laticiferous canals (Fig. 4h). The vascular system is bicollateral, consisting of a single U-shaped central bundle (Fig. 4g &amp; i). The petiole in cross-section presents a concave-convex contour (Fig. 4j). The epidermis is unstratified with nectar trichomes and sessile peltate glandular trichomes. Adjacent to the epidermis, the cortical region consists of layers of angular collenchyma with druses (Fig. 4k), followed by the fundamental parenchyma with laticiferous canals. The vascular system is bicollateral, composed of five bundles – three central ones forming an arch and two adaxial accessories(Fig.4j). Druses occur abundantly in the internal and external regions of the phloem (Fig. 4l). The leaf anatomy of I. buriliae was compared with I. parasitica, which is morphologically similar. Both species exhibit distinct vegetative morphoanatomical characters that are crucial for their delimitation. These include differences in the sinuosity of the anticlinal walls on the epidermal surface of the leaf blade, stomatal types, the number of palisade parenchyma layers in the mesophyll, the type of collenchyma in the midrib, and the shape and number of vascular bundles in the petiole (Fig. 5, Table 3).</p><p>SEM images of the leaves reveal a diverse array of surface structures. The images of the leaf blade and petiole highlight the abundant presence of tector trichomes (Fig. 4m &amp; n), which appear as thin, elongated projections. Sessile peltate glandular trichomes are distributed across the leaf blade, petiole, and stem (Fig. 4o–q). Spiny projections were observed on the stem (Fig. 4r), characterized by a robust, pointed structure with a broad base that tapers to a sharp tip. SEM images also show the presence of cuticular waxes on the adaxial surface of the leaf blade, appearing as granules (Fig. 4m) and membranous platelets (Fig. 4r).</p><p>Palynological notes: The pollen grains of I. buriliae are monads, apolar and very large (x = 110.8 × 109.6 μm), with a spheroidal shape. They are pantoporate containing approximately 90 circular pores (x = 7.1 μm), and lack an annulus. The exine is tectate, echinate, and perforate featuring bulbous spines (x = 15 μm), numbering around 165. These spines have a rounded apex, with a wide, polygonal base. The nexine is thicker than the sexine, and the exine is thin (total exine x = 7.2 μm; sexine x = 3.3 μm; nexine x = 3.95 μm) (Fig. 6, Table 2).</p><p>Cytogenetic notes: Ipomoea buriliae has a chromosome number of 2n = 30. Distinct GC-rich heterochromatic regions are observed on different chromosomes, forming 14 terminal CMA + /DAPI - bands (Fig. 7).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9C3C2061C077FFA6FF3DFDEDFEEAFB84	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
