Gereau & Kenfack (2000), U. submontana Most species of the genus Uvariopsis are cauliflorous small trees, the flowers being produced from the trunk, although some species are ramiflorous or bear axillary flowers (Kenfack et al., 2003; Couvreur et al., in press). Lisse, Netherlands: Balkema; 2003. However, such pre-prints have no standing as publications for nomenclatural purposes according to the Code (Turland et al., 2018) because they not intended by the authors as the final publication. The authors would like to thank anonymous reviewers for comments on an earlier version of this manuscript. (2018) studied U. dioica and found minimal visitation by Lepidoptera but more by nocturnal crickets and cockroaches. The president of Cameroon later backtracked his decision. The small tropical evergreen tree. The "dicaprio tree," also known as Uvariopsis dicaprio, is a plant grown only in the Ebo Forest of Cameroon, which is widely recognized for its incredible biodiversity, according to its article published in the scientific journal, PeerJ. DiCaprio, who stars in Netflix's "Don't Look Up" as a scientist, is one of the most notable environmental activists in Hollywood. In 2021, Kew scientists named more than 200 plants and fungi across the world some of which are already extinct or threatened because of the effects of climate change, the network reported. Uvariopsis dicaprio (Annonaceae) a new tree species with notes on its pollination biology, and the Critically Endangered narrowly endemic plant species of the Ebo Forest, Cameroon PeerJ. (in press) all from Cameroon, U. citrata In the context of a review of the pollination biology of Uvariopsis, we speculate that in a genus otherwise with species with dull, flesh-coloured (pink, red to brown) flowers pollinated (where known) by diptera, orthoptera and blattodea (flies, crickets and cockroaches), the glossy, pale yellow-green flowers of Uvariopsis dicaprio, with additional traits unique in the genus, may be pollinated by nocturnal moths. IPNI The royal botanic gardens, Kew, Harvard University Herbaria & libraries and Australian National Botanic Gardens. Unlike in all other species of the genus known, the petals are not thick and fleshy but thinly leathery. (Illustration by Courthouse News with photo by Lorna Mackinnon/RBG Kew) It is closely related to the ylang-ylang tree (Cananga odorata) which is native to India, South-East Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Australia. Therefore, it is possible that Uvariopsis dicaprio might yet also be found in the Cameroon highlands, e.g., at Mt Kupe. Prance GT, Jongkind CCH. These can be found throughout the Australian outback. We test the hypothesis that MacKinnon 51 represents a new species to science, using the most recent dichotomous identification key, and comparing it morphologically with reference material of all known species of the genus. DISTRIBUTION. Parrotta JA. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help 1), petal shapes are more or less ovate-lanceolate, rather than orbicular as in most species of the genus. Their pedicels, which connect the flower to the stem, are 1.82.5 cm long and about 1 mm in diameter. Of the 14 species of the genus in Cameroon, 11 are cauliflorous. "Had the logging concession gone ahead, we would have likely lost this species to timber extraction and slash and burn agriculture that usually follows logging concessions," Cheek says. One of chemistry's most crucial concepts is in crisis - can we fix it? The "dicaprio tree," also known as Uvariopsis dicaprio, is a plant grown only in the Ebo Forest of Cameroon, which is widely recognized for its incredible biodiversity, according to its. Trunk terete, lacking flutes or prop roots, 1.82.5 cm diameter at 1.5 m above the ground, bark smooth, dark-brown, with sparse, longitudinal lines of white lenticels (Fig. In the monoecious U. bakeriana (Hutch. The new species can be separated from all other Cameroonian species of Uvariopsis using the key presented below, modified from Dagallier in Couvreur et al. The high level of endemism of Uvariopsis species to the Cross-Sanaga River Interval may therefore be linked to the high number of primate species that are also endemic to the interval, bounded by the rivers Cross and Sanaga that represent barriers to primates. The Ebo Forest area is a highly threatened centre of diversity in the Littoral Region of Cameroon, globally important for conservation with many threatened species including 68 threatened species of plant, yet not formally protected. & Diels (Annonaceae) is characterised by unisexual, usually cauliflorous flowers with a uniseriate corolla of four petals, and two sepals.

Staminal dome 3.54 mm long, 3.54 mm diam., consisting of stamens and a receptacular torus. The team named the species after actor and environmental activist DiCaprio to commemorate his campaigning efforts to protect Ebo forest from logging. Flowering has been observed in late March and early April (B. Morgan, 2021, personal communication). Cookie Policy In the context of a review of the pollination biology of Uvariopsis, we speculate that in a genus otherwise with species with dull, flesh-coloured (pink, red to brown) flowers pollinated (where known) by diptera, orthoptera and blattodea (flies, crickets and cockroaches), the glossy, pale yellow-green flowers of Uvariopsis dicaprio, with additional traits unique in the genus, may be pollinated by nocturnal moths. Partial-peduncles 0.52 0.91.2 mm, terminating in 12 bracts subtending a pedicel. We show that the highest density of species of the genus (12), and of narrow endemics (5), is found in the Cross-Sanaga Interval of SE Nigeria and Western Cameroon. PeerJ This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Until a species has a scientific name, assessment of its extinction risk is near impossible, which makes protection from extinction very difficult. They usually occur at low frequency. Altitude varies from c. 200 m to 1,200 m elevation. Cameroon is the centre of diversity of the genus with 14 of the 19 known species. Disclaimer.

So far, over 100 new species and several new genera have been discovered and published, new protected areas have been recognised and the results of analysis are feeding into the Cameroon Important Plant Area programme (https://www.kew.org/science/our-science/projects/tropical-important-plant-areas-cameroon), based on the categories and criteria of Darbyshire et al. which resembled no other species known in the genus. The species is a small tropical evergreen tree with yellow flowers growing from its trunk, according to PeerJ. We think he was crucial in helping to stop the logging of the Ebo forest,Dr. Martin Cheek told BBC in a recent interview. And new for 2022 11. Ten species of primate are confined to the Interval (Kingdon, 2015). Before The planet is a poorer place when we lose the species that have taken, in most cases, millions of years to evolve, says Cheek. Uvariopsis globiflora Keay The tree has been classified as critically endangered. The "dicaprio" tree is the first plant new to science to be officially named by Kew scientists in 2022, through publication in the scientific journal, PeerJ. The tree is new to science in 2022 and it is grown only in the dense forest of Cameroon, known for its incredible biodiversity. New tree species: Uvariopsis dicaprio named in honour of Leonardo Conclusions: The two species can be separated using the differential characters in Table 1 below. Bracts oblong-elliptic, 1.5 0.50.6 mm, apex acute, outer surface about 50% covered in appressed white hairs c. 0.150.2 mm long, inner surface glabrous. sp.

Standing at around 4 metres tall, U. dicaprio can be identified by the distinctive and vibrant glossy yellow-green flowers that grow on its trunk. The Cross-Sanaga Interval appears to be the main centre of diversity of Uvariopsis. Such discoveries as this new species underline the urgency for making further such discoveries while it is still possible since in all but one of the cases given above, the species have very narrow geographic ranges and/or very few individuals, and face threats to their natural habitat, putting these species at high risk of extinction. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Less than 50 mature individuals have been observed (B. Morgan, 2021, personal communication), despite the species being highly conspicuous in flower (Fig. For any species, a scientific name is important because it allows researchers to better assess its risk of extinction, according to BBC. Leonardo Dicaprio gets recognized with a new tree species named after In August 2021, Mark Chase, also at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and his colleagues named seven new Australian species of wild tobacco (Nicotiana).

In non-cauliflorous species of Uvariopsis the inflorescences consist of a single, axillary flower. However, in rare ecological circumstances, some species can become locally dominant e.g., U. tripetala (Dennettia tripetala) in the understorey of maritime lowland evergreen inselberg forest in Guinea (Couch et al., 2019), and also, U. congensis locally subdominant in forests in western Uganda where it flowers synchronously and is dispersed by primates (Dominy & Duncan, 2005; G. Gosline, 2016, personal observation). eCollection 2021. This is the Uvariopsis dicaprio tree, in the Ebo Forest in Cameroon. In this paper we test the hypothesis that it is a new species to science endemic to Ebo and name the new species as Uvariopsis dicaprio. George Gosline conceived and designed the experiments, performed the experiments, analyzed the data, prepared figures and/or tables, authored or reviewed drafts of the paper, and approved the final draft.

On the inner surface of the petal, the concave area is demarcated by an inverted U-shaped, distinct, raised, broad ridge which seems to be the point of contact with those of the other sepals, sealing the chamber. The four species can be compared and separated from each other using the characters in Table 1. Plant Ecology and Evolution. Scientists say they're racing to catalog the planet's biodiversity before it's too late, the Guardian reports. Discussion: One of the species, Didymoplexis stella-silvae, grows in complete darkness and its vivid white flowers only open immediately after rain and close back up after about 24 hours. Harvey YB, Pollard BJ, Darbyshire I, Onana J-M, Cheek M. The plants of Bali Ngemba Forest reserve. By protecting an orchid, you might be protecting an insect that [feeds on it], says Hermans. Numerous other plant genera have their centre of diversity in the interval (Cheek et al., 2001) and some are endemic to it, e.g. They determined it was previously unknown to science, and also appears to be unknown among local communities.
