Popis: 5. Campanula monteverdensis Gard��re, sp. nov. (Fig. 1, 3E, 5B, 9). Holotypus: CABO VERDE. S��o Vicente: Monte Verde, 16��52'08"N 24��56'04"W, 740 m, 10.XII.2015, Gard��re 1092 (P [P02442690]!; iso-: CECV!). = Campanula jacobaea var. humilis Bolle in Bonplandia 9: 50. 1861. Lectotypus (designated by LEYENS & LOBIN, 1995: 216): CABO VERDE. S��o Vicente: Monte Verde, 1852, Bolle s.n. (K [K001134400]!). Campanulae jacobaeae C. Sm. ex Webb aff inis, sed foliis supra leviter bullatis in vivo, corolla late infundibuliforme sine constrictione (vs. campanulatam fauce paulo constricta), obtronconica basi (vs. rotundatam basim), stylo corollae exserto (vs. stylum corollae inclusum), praecipue differt. Sub-frutex 5 ��� 20 cm tall, highly woody in lower part; floriferous stems branched, procumbent to decumbent arising from the base of one or several sterile basal rosettes, glabrous to glabrescent in the woody basal parts with indument hispidulous to hispid toward the extremity, consisting of trichomes 0.2���0.7 mm long. Leaves: rosette-leaves elliptic to obovate rarely narrowly elliptic or narrowly obovale, (1.1���) 1.5 ��� 3(��� 3.2) �� (0.7 ���)0.9 ��� 1.3(��� 1.5) cm, base cuneiform, apex obtuse; cauline-leaves ovate to elliptic rarely elliptic, 1 ���3.5 �� 0.8��� 1.5 cm, base attenuate sometimes asymmetric, apex acute to obtuse; margin weakly revolute, crenelate; adaxial side pure green in vivo, weakly bullate in vivo, glabrescent or scattered of strigose trichomes, 0.15���0.4 mm long, indument generally more pronounced around the apex; abaxial side light green in vivo, venation whitish, hispidulous-strigillose indument on primary and secondary veins consisting of trichomes 0.4���0.6(���0.7) mm long and hispidulous indument on tertiary and ultimate veins consisting of trichomes 0.1���0.3 mm long, lamina glabrescent. Inflorescences in monochasial pauciflorous cyme with continuous growth. Flowers erect, pedicel 0.5���1.5(���2) cm long, with the same indument as the leaves; axillate by one or two bracts subopposite, ovato-triangular or ovate to narrowly ovate, base semi-amplexicaul, apex acute, with the same indument as the stem. Calyx: calyx-lobes triangular, 10���13 �� 4���6 mm, always pressed up against the corolla, margin distinctly revolute; appendages ovate, reflexed, c. 2 mm long; lobe edges, appendage and median main vein covered with an indument strigillose or hispidulous to hispid, consisting of trichomes 0.15���0.7 mm long. Corolla infundibuliform, dark purple (never white); base straight 7���8 mm large; tube ob-tronconical concave 13���18 mm long, widening gradually upwards and reaching 21���25 mm at the mouth, constrictions absent; throat widely flared; lobes spreading to obliquely erect, 4���8 �� 2���4 mm, apex apiculate; external lamina entirely covered with indument microhispidulous c. 0.1 mm long, except the primary veins micro-hispidulous to hispidous, 0.15���0.2 mm long. Stamens with glabrous filaments; anthers, 2���4 mm long. Ovary with glabrous to glabrescent roof, flat, topped by a yellowish-with nectary disk. Style thick, fleshy, 12���18 mm long, exserted from the corolla, stigma trifid and papillose. Etymology. ��� The epithet monteverdensis for the bellflower ���from Monte Verde��� and refers to the name of the type locality; Monte Verde, meaning ���Green Mountain���. Distribution and habitat. ��� Campanula monteverdensis is confined to the summit of Monte Verde, the highest summit of S��o Vicente, reaching 720 m, frequently battered by the trade winds and covered by fog. This microendemic species grows between rocks in shrubland made up principally of Daucus insularis (Parl.) Spalik et al. (Apiaceae), Echium stenosiphon Webb (Boraginaceae) and Euphorbia tuckeyana (Euphorbiaceae). Notes. ��� The first collection from S��o Vicente was made by Vogel in 1839 (Vogel 73 [K001134391]), which he linked to Campanula dulcis Decne. (VOGEL, 1849: 27), a species endemic to the mountains of the southern Sinai (DECAISNE, 1834). This specimen was chosen by WEBB (1848: tab. 762) as one of syntypes of C. jacobaea (see under C. jacobaea). Then, SCHMIDT (1852: 208) noticed few differences in the habitus and the indument of the bellflowers of S��o Vicente and those of Santo Ant��o that he judged insufficient to warrant taxonomic separation. However, BOLLE (1861) included both the bellflowers from S��o Vicente and the rupicolous forms from the ���xeric��� areas from S��o Nicolau (see under C. fransinea) when he made the description of the variety humilis. Those from S��o Vicente, identified until now as C. jacobaea (KRAUSE, 1892; CHEVALIER, 1935; SUNDING, 1973,1982; ERIKSSON et al., 1974, 1979; HANSEN & SUNDING, 1985, 1993; LOBIN, 1986; FIGUEIREDO, 1995; LEYENS & LOBIN, 1995; BROCHMANN et al., 1997; S��NCHEZ-PINTO et al., 2005), are described as new under C. monteverdensis, a species easily identifiable by: a widely flared infundibuliform corolla, never white, dark purple colour (���gentian blue��� according to BOLLE, 1861: 50); an exserted style; triangular sepals with distinctly revolute margins; and elliptic to obovate leaves with a surface slightly bullate in vivo. The succinct description of BOLLE (1861) was built on inconsistent diagnostic characters (notably related to indument) and on a mixed collection (presence on Bolle s.n. [K001134400] of one C. fransinea flower in the fragment packet). We therefore prefer to describe a new species with an unambiguous recently collected original material than making a nomen novum on Bolle���s variety. Additional specimens examined. ��� CABO VERDE.
