Calochortus ownbeyi García-Mart., Aarón Rodr. View in CoL & H.P. McDonald, sp. nov. ( Figs. 1–3 View FIGURE 1 View FIGURE 2 View FIGURE 3 )

Type: — MEXICO. Sonora: Yécora, Los Pilares , 28º23’38.88’’N, 108º47’24.3’’W, 1315 m, 7 August 2016 (fl), García-Martínez et al. 274 (holotype: IBUG; isotypes: CIIDIR, MEXU, CAS) GoogleMaps .

Calochortus ownbeyi is characterised by the following: flowers campanulate, erect, perianth white; external tepals glabrous, nectary absent; internal tepals densely hairy extending half the surface; nectary linear, often obscured by the trichomes.

Bulbous perennial herbs, 25–55(–65) cm. Bulb ovoid, 1.3–2.5 × 1.2–2.5 cm, with fibrous-reticulate coats. Stem erect, branching, (1–)3– 5(–9) ramifications, bulbils frequently present in most leaf axils, branches widely variable in length, lowest often as long as basal leaf, upper much shorter. Basal leaf flat (15.0–)25.0–45.0 × 0.3–0.9 cm, linear; cauline leaves lanceolate to linear, 21.0–46.0 × 0.2–0.5 cm. Flowers with a pair of bracts, 1.5–3.0 × 0.2–0.5 cm, opposite, narrow-lanceolate to linear. Flowers campanulate, erect to somewhat spreading; external tepals elliptic to lanceolate, 1.0–1.5 × 0.3–0.5 cm, apiculate, glabrous or with a few trichomes, white or more often green to pale green or reddish, nectaries absent; internal tepals obovate, 1.3–2.0 × 0.6–1.5 cm, white, inner face with trichomes from near base to 1/2 or 2/3 length, trichomes mostly white or yellow at base, denser around nectary; nectary linear, 4–5 × 1–2 mm, often obscured by the trichomes. Filaments basally dilated, 4.0–5.0 × 0.8–1.0 mm; anthers oblong, 2.0–4.0 × 0.5–1.0 mm, acute to apiculate, basifixed, lavender or white. Ovary fusiform, 4–7 × 1–2 mm, winged; style with a persistent trilobed stigma. Capsule erect, 1.5–2.5 × 0.5–1.0 cm, ellipsoid; seeds compressed, 2.00–3.00 × 0.08–1.2 mm, surface rough ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ).

Etymology: —The specific epithet honors Francis Marion Ownbey (1910–1974).

Distribution, habitat and phenology: — Calochortus ownbeyi is exclusive to Mexico. It grows from southeastern Sonora to northern Colima. It inhabits open pine and oak forest along the biogeographic province of Sierra Madre Occidental and the western portion of the Transmexican Volcanic Belt at 1,000 –2,900 m elevation ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ). It flowers in early August and fruits in October. The species covers a broad geographical range and grows in eight Mexican states, Chihuahua, Colima, Durango, Jalisco, Nayarit, Sinaloa, Sonora and Zacatecas. Although the populations are dense, they are rare, growing only in particular places with poor and well-drained soils. Using GeoCAT ( Bachman et al. 2011) the EOO sums 174,000 km 2, and the size of the AOO is 356 km 2, based on cells of 2 × 2 km. Following the IUCN (2016) criteria, the EOO classifies it as least concern (LC), which means it is a widespread species. In contrast, the AOO value considered it endangered (EN), which means that C. ownbeyi can face a high risk of extinction in the wild. These analyses indicate that C. ownbeyi is a rare but widespread species.

Notes: — Calochortus ownbeyi has been confused with C. venustulus . In September 1935, H.S. Gentry collected and described a Calochortus species with white flowers and yellow hairs in the centre from Sonora: Álamos, Sierra Charuco, Río Fuerte, 27º35’34’’N, 108º45’21.2’’W, 1240 m, 13 September 1935 (fl, fr), Gentry 1819 (MEXU!). In 1936, he found another species with a different flower colour, this time describing it as yellow from Chihuahua: Uriachi, Los Cascarones, Río Mayo, 28º0’14.43’’N, 108º10’2.41’’W, 2420 m, 11 September 1936 (fl), Gentry 2670 (MEXU!). These two specimens were determined as C. venustulus by Ownbey (1940), and he did not notice the differences between them. Fishbein (1998) contributed additional information on Calochortaceae in Gentry’s Río Mayo Plants. He analysed the specimens collected by H.S. Gentry, P.S. Martin, G. Starr, J. Laferrièr and his own collections of Calochortus . As a conclusion, he wrote “yellow-flowered and white-flowered forms may represent distinct taxa”. After examining these two specimens, we concluded that the first corresponds to C. ownbeyi and the second to C. venustulus .

Calochortus ownbeyi and C. venustulus exhibit highly divergent floral syndromes. Calochortus ownbeyi is described as the “cat’s ear” syndrome, whereas C. venustulus has the characteristics of the “star tulip” syndrome (Patterson & Givinsh 2003). The syndromes are associated with specific groups of pollinators that could represent a strong selective force ( Dilley et al. 2000). Calochortus ownbeyi is most easily distinguished by its white and obovate internal tepals, whereas C. venustulus has yellow and lanceolate to obovate internal tepals ( Table 1). Also, the external tepals of C. ownbeyi can be white, pale green or reddish, but in C. venustulus they are always yellow. Trichomes on the tepals, which are generally white, extend halfway or higher up the tepals in C. ownbeyi , whereas in C. venustulus they are yellow and limited to the nectary area. In general, C. ownbeyi is taller than C. venustulus and has consistently branched stem with bulbils in the leaf and bract axils, whereas in C. venustulus bulbils are always absent. The leaves are similar and variable in the two species, but floral bracts in C. ownbeyi are shorter.

Calochortus ownbeyi and C. venustulus have been found in similar environments along the Sierra Madre Occidental biogeographical province ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ), although they grow on different slopes. Calochortus ownbeyi can be found in the western (Pacific) slope, whereas C. venustulus is found more consistently on the eastern slopes of the same mountain range. The two species come into contact in the southern portion of the province in Coyotes and La Michilía, Durango. Calochortus ownbeyi continues south over the western end of the Transmexican Volcanic Belt. Calochortus ownbeyi is found at 1,000 –2,900 m elevation, whereas C. venustulus reaches higher elevations, 1,500 –3,300 m. In accord with the estimations of EOO and AOO, C. ownbeyi is a rare and widespread species. The same analysis for C. venustulus generated an EOO value of 130,000 km 2 and 164 km 2 for AOO based on cells of 2 × 2 km. Following the IUCN (2016) criteria, C. venustulus is also classified into LC for the EOO and EN for the AOO values. Thus, C. venustulus and C. ownbeyi are both rare but widespread species.

Phylogenetic analyses, based on plastid DNA sequence evidence (Patterson & Givinsh 2003), placed C. ownbeyi with other Mexican taxa but far away from C. venustulus . The samples of C. ownbeyi used in the analysis came from collections made in coastal (Cabo Corrientes, 20º21’28’’N, 105º15’16’’W, 1030 m, Patterson 1044, WIS) and inland Jalisco (Cuautla, 20º14’37’’N, 104º27’50’’W, 1900 m, Patterson 1045, WIS). These coastal populations differ only in having lavender anthers and trichomes ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ), whereas in the inland populations the anthers are white with yellow trichomes ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 ).
