(holo-, QBG; iso-, BKF, P) .</p><p>Large woody climber, 10-20 m high; branches terete, glabrous, reddish; young shoots and inflorescence not surrounded by cataphylls; thorns recurved, in pairs, 2-4 mm long. Leaves elliptic to broadly elliptic, (10-) 12-18 cm long, (6.5-) 8-11 cm wide, subcoriaceous to coriaceous; apex mucronulate or retuse; base cordate; lamina glabrous on both surfaces; midrib more or less impressed above at least in the basal part, raised and prominent below; secondary veins 6-8 pairs, reticulation distinct on both surfaces; petiole 13-20 mm long, glabrous. Inflorescence a terminal leafy panicle of which the upper part has mostly lost its leaves; peduncle 3-9 cm long, glabrous except for ferruginous puberulous at the upper part; pedicels 2.5-3 cm long, ferruginous puberulous. Sepals biseriate, free, boatshaped, 1.8-2.5 cm long, 1.3-2 cm wide, ferruginous puberulous outside, puberulous inside in the marginal par ts; the outer pair slightly smaller, coriaceous, apex obtuse to rounded; the inner pair with a membranous and slightly repand margin, apex retuse to emarginate. Petals white with pink-purplish at base inside, free, oblanceolate-spatulate, 4.5-5 cm long, (1.6-) 1.8-2.2 cm wide, crenate to slightly crisped and emarginate at apex, glabrous except for pubescent at base on both sides. Torus 5- 7 mm wide, ferruginous puberulous. Stamens 140-170, white; filaments (4-) 4.8-5.5 cm long, glabrous except for hairy at base; anthers 2- 3 mm long, subbasifixed, introrse, dehiscing by longitudinal slits. Gynophore dark purplish, 2- 2.5 mm long, glabrous. Ovary spindle-shaped, slightly curved, dark purplish, 2-3 mm long, c. 1 mm wide, glabrous, with shallow longitudinal grooves; placentas 4; stigma knob-shaped. Fruit ellipsoid, 7-10 cm long, 6-8 cm wide, smooth or slightly apiculate; pericarp 7-10 mm thick; stipe 8-11 cm long, 7-12 mm thick. Seeds 15-40, ovoid-ellipsoid, embedded in pink-purplish pulp, 17-20 mm long, 13-15 mm wide, 7-10 mm high. — Fig. 1.</p><p>ETYMOLOGY. — The species epithet honors Dr Chusie TRISONTHI, Biology Department, Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University, who is a leading authority of the Ethnobotany and Biodiversity studies at Doi Phu Kha National Park, Nan Province, and who was an inspiration to the first author to study plant taxonomy.</p><p>PHENOLOGY. — Flowering between June and July; fruiting between December and January.</p><p>DISTRIBUTION. — Only known from the type locality. Population small, i.e. about 25 individuals mostly in juvenile state.</p><p>ECOLOGY. — Near streams in dry evergreen forest; 700 m.</p><p>PARATYPES. — Same as type locality: Srisanga 2389, 17 Jan. 2002, fr.

(QBG).</p><p>Capparis trisonthiae is easily distinguished by its large (1.8-2.5 cm long, 1.3-2 cm wide) boatshaped sepals with ferruginous puberulous outside and puberulous in the marginal parts inside and its oblanceolate-spatulate petals (4.5-5 cm long, (1.6-) 1.8-2.2 cm wide), long filaments ((4-) 4.8-5.5 cm), very short gynophore (2-2.5 mm) and ovary with shallow longitudinal grooves.</p><p>Our new species resembles C. klossii Ridl., endemic to the Isthmus of Kra in southern Thailand, in leaf shape and texture (subcoriaceous to coriaceous, elliptic to broadly elliptic, with mucronulate or retuse apex and cordate base), the presence of 6-8 pairs of secondary veins, and its large ellipsoid fruit (7-10 cm long, 6-8 cm wide). The new species differs from C. klossii in its glabrous (vs more or less densely fulvous puberulous) leaves beneath, distinct (vs obscure) reticulation, and several floral characters, such as larger (vs 11-13 mm long, 6-7 mm wide) sepals, puberulous (vs glabrous) sepals in the marginal parts inside, much larger (vs 1.5-2 cm long, 0.75-1 cm wide) petals, more numerous (140-170 vs c. 55) stamens, very short (vs 4.25-5.5 cm long) gynophore, and the presence of shallow longitudinal grooves on the ovary.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/551A87A8FFD6D203FF2557D1FE7587AD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
