A new lithophytic species of Gesneria, Gesneria clasei J.L.Clark, was discovered during a research expedition to the Sierra de Bahoruco in the southwestern province of Barahona in the Dominican Republic. It is a locally endemic species known from a single population and is differentiated from congeners by its tubular red corollas. Based on IUCN guidelines, it has been assigned a preliminary conservation status of Critically Endangered (CR).
A new lithophytic species of Gesneria was discovered during a recent research expedition to the Dominican Republic. Gesneria clasei J.L.Clark is a locally endemic species known from a single population in the Sierra de Bahoruco in the southwestern province of Barahona in the Dominican Republic. Images and a discussion are provided to differentiate Gesneria clasei from congeners that share tubular red corollas. Based on IUCN guidelines, a preliminary conservation status of Critically Endangered (CR) is assigned to G. clasei.
