Gut., E. C. Smidt & Toscano 2025	<div><p>Pabstiella shirafuchii N.Gut., E.C.Smidt &amp; Toscano sp. nov.</p><p>(Figures 1, 2, 3, 4A).</p><p>Type: — BRAZIL. São Paulo: Miracatu, Santa Rita do Ribeira, 648 m, September 2014, collected by Mário Shirafuchi, flowered in June 2023, N. Gutierrez 293 (holotype: UPCB 110510 in spirit).</p><p>Similar to Pabstiella punctata (Barbosa Rodrigues 1881: 52) Luer &amp; Toscano (2011: 381), but smaller, up to 6.5 cm tall (vs. 9.5 cm), with shorter leaves, to 5 cm long (vs. to 7 cm). The sepals of the new species are yellow-vinaceous, finely vinaceous spotted (vs. yellow with dark purple stains), the petals are vinaceous, with a conspicuous, external carina (vs. petals yellow with dark purple spots, subcarinate). The lip is distinguishable by its triangular and papillose apical lobe (vs. lip with a rounded, verrucose apical lobe).</p><p>Description:— Plant small, caespitose, up to 6.5 cm, roots slender, 0.5–0.7 mm in diameter. Ramicauls slender, 1.7–4.0 mm long, enclosed by three tubular, membranaceous, ribbed sheaths, the apex oblique, acute, the middle sheath partially covering the ramicaul. Leaves narrowly lanceolate, coriaceous, the apex minutely emarginate with the mid vein extending beneath and ending in a short, acuminate mucro, acute, 2.0–5.0 × 0.4–0.6 cm, the base cuneate into a petiole 2.0–4.0 mm long. Inflorescence emerging from the apex of the ramicaul, embraced at base by a minute spathe of less than 1 mm long, with up to 4 successive coflorescences, each coflorescensce suberect, with 3–5 successive flowers, up to 3.2 cm; pseudopeduncle 1.5–2.0 cm long, with two internodes, each with a tubular, acute bract, 2 mm long, floral bracts tubular, acute, ca. 1.2 mm long. Pedicel 1.0– 1.5 mm long. Ovary 0.8–1.3 mm long. Flowers non resupinate. Sepals yellow, vinaceous along the longitudinal middle, finely spotted in vinaceous; dorsal sepal oblong-obovate, slightly concave, subcarinate, 3-veined, the apical margins slightly revolute, acute, 5.0 × 2.0– 2.5 mm. Lateral sepals carinate externally along the midvein, each 3-veined, connate ca. 3.8 mm into a bifid, oblong, concave synsepal with acute apices, 4.4 × 3.0– 3.1 mm. Petals vinaceous, unguiculate, the apical half rhomboid, 1-veined, slightly asymmetrical, the external surface bullate, 1-carinate, the apical margins minutely erose, acute, 2.5–3.3 × 1.0 mm. Lip completely vinaceous or suffused with cream near the base, oblong-lanceolate, 3-lobed, hinged to the column foot, truncate at base with a pair of minute lobules at the corners, the lateral lobes in the middle third, erect, rounded, with a pair of longitudinal, verrucose calli, the apical lobe triangular, papillose, 2.8–3.2 × 1.5–2.0 mm expanded. Column almost completely vinaceous or yellow-green with vinaceous margins, slightly arcuate, narrowly winged, the apex tridentate, 2.3–2.7 mm long, the foot granulose, ca. 0.6 mm long. Anther gibbous, white suffused with magenta; pollinia obovate, laterally compressed and united by a caudicle.</p><p>Distribution and ecology: —The new species has been recorded in two states of southeastern Brazil: São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, within the Serra do Mar range, at altitudes of 650–1500 m. An older collection from Bom Jardim de Minas, Minas Gerais, deposited at HB (19515), may represent the same species. Unfortunately, we were unable to confirm this identification, as the new species was only recognized after our visit to this herbarium, and at that time, the available specimen photos were insufficient. Nonetheless, this suggests that the species distribution likely extends to the Serra da Mantiqueira.</p><p>The cultivated plant used to prepare the type specimen was collected from medium-height hygrophilous forests, commonly referred to as mata de brejo in São Paulo state, at an altitude of 650 m. According to Miller et al. (2006), the species was found inhabiting Ombrophilous forests, growing on shaded high branches, at an altitude of 1500 m. The authors also report a blooming period from March to April and note the long-lasting flowers of this species, which can persist for 3–4 weeks.</p><p>Etymology: —Dedicated to Mário Shirafuchi who collected the plant that served for the preparation of the holotype specimen.</p><p>Additional material examined (paratypes): — BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro: Serra de Macaé de Cima, 650-750 m, 2006, Seehawer s.n. (RB 432203) (Figure 3) ; Illustration 1157 (prancha IX), by Miller et al. (2006: 535) in Serra dos Órgãos, sua história e suas orquídeas, as Pleurothallis cordilabia Pabst (1972: 267) .</p><p>Taxonomic Discussion: —The new species is similar to P. punctata (Figure 4B) and P. fluminensis (Pabst 1973: 363) Luer (2007: 119) (Figure 4C). All three are small to medium-sized orchids characterized by lanceolate to linear leaves, short inflorescences, and a few non-resupinate flowers. As observed in many other species of the P. section Brachystachyae N.Gut, Toscano &amp; E.C.Smidt, the flowers are borne on a minute pedicel, and their floral morphology is notably similar.</p><p>Compared to P. punctata, P. shirafuchii is a smaller plant, up to 6.5 cm tall (vs. 9.5 cm), with shorter leaves, up to 5 cm long (vs. leaves up to 7 cm). The inflorescences, with several coflorescences bearing 4–5 non-resupinate flowers, are very similar in both species. However, in P. shirafuchii, the pseudopeduncle is somewhat longer, up to 3.2 cm (vs. pseudopeduncle up to 2.9 cm). The flowers of P. shirafuchii are smaller, with sepals vinaceous in the center, yellow towards the margins, and more or less spotted with vinaceous (vs. larger flowers, with sepals commonly yellow marked with dark purple stains). The dorsal sepal of P. shirafuchii is oblong-obovate, up to 5 mm long and 2.5 mm wide (vs. dorsal sepal oblong, up to 7 mm long and 2 mm wide). Similarly, the synsepal of P. shirafuchii is shorter, 4.4 mm long (vs. synsepal up to 7 mm).</p><p>The petals are similar in shape and bullate externally in both species, in P. shirafuchii they are vinaceous with a conspicuous central carina (vs. petals yellow with purple spots, subcarinate). The lip of P. shirafuchii varies from completely vinaceous to vinaceous-cream and is distinguishable by its triangular and papillose apical lobe (vs. lip dark purple with pale yellow, with a rounded, verrucose apical lobe). The anther is similar in morphology and color in both species: gibbous, white ventrally but completely dark purple on the dorsal side.</p><p>The new species is also similar to P. fluminensis, which presents a similar overall size, flower shape and color pattern. P. shirafuchii can be easily distinguished by its narrowly lanceolate leaves (vs. linear leaves), inflorescences with a considerably longer pseudopeduncle, up to 3.2 cm (vs. up to 3 mm), and co-inflorescences bearing 3–5 flowers (vs. 2–3 flowers). In P. shirafuchii the sepals are yellow, vinaceous along the longitudinal middle and finely spotted (vs. entirely yellow-green with dark purple stains), the petals are vinaceous, externally bullate and 1-carinate (vs. pale yellow-green, vinaceous stained, smooth externally), and the lip has an apical lobe triangular, papillose, with inconspicuous calli (vs. apical lobe verrucose, rounded, the calli conspicious).</p><p>Miller et al. (2006) discussed this species in the book Serra dos Órgãos, sua história e suas orquídeas, identifying it as Pleurothallis cordilabia Pabst, formerly Pabstiella cordilabia (Pabst) Luer (2007: 119) . In this work, the authors provided a color illustration and a detailed description, including information about the habitat where the species occurs. This confusion between species is understandable due to the similar size and shape of the vegetative parts of P. shirafuchii and P. cordilabia . Additionally, the shape of the petals and lip, the latter with broad lateral lobes and cordate when expanded, is similar in both species. Nevertheless, P. cordilabia (see Toscano de Brito &amp; Luer 2016) is restricted to the state of Espírito Santo. It has considerably longer inflorescences, up to 6.5 cm (vs. 3.2 cm in P. shirafuchii), pedicels 2–5 mm long (vs. pedicels 1.0– 1.5 mm), externally verrucose petals (vs. externally carinate petals), and a rounded, verrucose apical lobe of the lip (vs. a triangular, papillose apical lobe in P. shirafuchii).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F87BDD30E7502F0D91F0EFB0EA72D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Based on the available illustrations and specimens mentioned, it is clear that P. brachystele and P. melior are conspecific, sharing pubescent sepals, more or less apiculate petals, and, most notably, a lip with subfalcate lateral lobes below the middle, a pair of oblique calli in the middle third, and a column with a small callus near the middle of the ventral surface.</p><p>Before its description, this species was illustrated by Miller et al. (2006: 524, figure 1139), where it was erroneously identified as Pleurothallis podoglossa Hoehne (1938: 12), a heterotypic synonym of Pabstiella versicolor Porsch (1905: 155) Luer (2007: 121) . A recent collection of this species in Nova Friburgo, preserved at UPCB (110464!), confirms its occurrence in Rio de Janeiro. Additionally, a specimen collected in 1936 by A.C. Brade from Serra da Bocaina, São Paulo, preserved at RB (28814!), was also illustrated by Brade (unpubl.).</p><p>The species occurs in the highlands of at least three states in southeastern Brazil. Infertile P. brachystele specimens may be confused with P. bradei (Schlechter 1922: 41) Luer (2007: 119) or P. sordida (Kraenzlin 1921: 8) Luer (2007: 121), but P. brachystele can be distinguished by the minutely apiculate petals and by the lip morphology.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F87BDD3087503F0D918CEFAADAC93	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Since then, no further collections of this species have been recorded again from Minas Gerais. A specimen collected by R. Kautsky in Domingos Martins, Espírito Santo, and deposited at HB (63537!), indicates that the species also occurs in the Serra do Castelo. The holotype of Pabstiella naimekei was collected in Santa Maria de Jetibá, a municipality adjacent to Domingos Martins, within the Serra do Castelo.</p><p>A comparison of these two entities clearly indicates they represent the same species: a small plant with short ramicauls, elliptical to obovate, coriaceous leaves, and inflorescences longer than leaves, bearing up to nine orange to yellow flowers. The sepals are puberulent internally, the lip is orange to vinaceous, and the column is winged.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F87BDD3087503F0D91BFEFAE7AAFF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Chiron 9862 (holotype: HUEFS 179704!).</p><p>Taxonomic Discussion: — Pabstiella dasilvae was described from southern Bahia at sea level. Due to its puberulent sepals, it was compared with some species of Pabstiella section Effusae (Lindley 1842: 74) Gutiérrez, Toscano &amp; E.C. Smidt (2021: 582), such as P. fasciata (Seehawer 2005: 458) Luer (2007: 119) and P. fusca (Lindley 1836: 354) Chiron &amp; Ximenes Bolsanello (2010: 56) . However, the presence of indumentum on the inner surface of the sepals is not restricted to a single group of species within the genus, and it can range from puberulent to pubescent or villose.</p><p>Pabstiella fragae was described three years earlier from Santa Teresa, Espírito Santo, in vegetation type called “Floresta Ombrófila Densa Montana ”. Upon comparing both publications and studied specimens, it becomes evident that they belong to the same entity, despite a difference in overall size. Plants from the lowlands of Bahia are smaller, with ramicauls no longer than 3 mm long and leaves up to 2.8 cm long, while those from the Serra do Castelo of Espírito Santo are larger, with ramicauls up to 2 cm long and leaves reaching 7 cm in length. This variation may be attributed to differences in climate and light exposure, as observed in several other species of the genus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F87BDD308750CF0D91E12FAA3AE20	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In the original publication, Pabst described the lip as having a long, verrucose claw and an obtuse apex. Luer &amp; Toscano (2011) later described Pabstiella discors from a collection in the same area of Espírito Santo, also noting a lip with similar morphology. However, they did not compare the new species to any other species in the genus.</p><p>A comparison of the original drawings of P. discors and P. garayi reveals that they are conspecific, as both illustrations show the lip as long-unguiculate with an obtuse apex, matching Pabst’s description. Nevertheless, a revision of the type specimens of both species and flower dissections from a cultivated plant collected in the same locality, indicates that the position of the lip was misinterpreted in both Pabst’s and Luer’s publications. In fact, the lip is 3-lobed, truncate at the base, with an elongate apical lobe and a central verrucose callus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F87BDD307750DF0D91E9FFBCFAE4D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The type specimen is a spirit collection at HUEFS. The original drawing represents a plant with a single flower supported by a drooping pedicel and a vestigial bud, likely of a second flower, as mentioned by C. Luer. On the other hand, Pabstiella isabelae, described a year later from Espírito Santo, represents an equally small species with long-pedicellate flowers. Both share a very similar perianth, but differing in the number and position of the flowers, as well as in some details of the lip. A revision of both type specimens, along with an examination of cultivated plants may clarify these differences. The plant that C. Luer used for his drawing was still developing its inflorescence, whereas the adult form of the species is better represented in Chiron´s drawing of P. isabelae . The lip is more accurately depicted in Luer’s drawing, as Chiron omitted the pair of calli in the middle third, which are obscure and imperceptible in this species. Flowers may vary from orange to pale yellow, with dark purple to maroon stripes.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F87BDD306750EF0D91E92FEE2AE95	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The dorsal sepal has recurved apical margins, and the petals have an abruptly acuminate apex, floral characters that distinguish this species from similar taxa.</p><p>Several collections of P. savioi from the Restinga forests in the states of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro are deposited at MBML and RB, most of which were identified as P. rampastorhyncha (Barbosa Rodrigues 1881: 55) Kollmann (2010: 96) . P. rampastorhyncha is an obscure taxon for which neither a description of the lip is provided in the protologue nor an illustration in the original color painting. Moreover, as with other species described by J. Barbosa Rodrigues, no herbarium materials are available for revision. Therefore, we advise caution in the use of this name until a consensus can be reached on its true identity.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038F87BDD305750EF0D91984FD24AB81	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
