Hydrangeamarunoi (Hydrangeaceae), a new species from Osumi Peninsula, southern Japan.

ABSTRACT: Hydrangeamarunoi Tagane & S. Fujii, from the Kimotsuki Mountains in the Ohsumi Peninsula, southern Japan, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to H.alternifolia in having three-petaloid calyx lobes in marginal flowers, but is distinguished by the larger stamen number, and longer styles and seeds. Multiplex ISSR genotyping by sequencing (MIG-seq) demonstrated that the new species is monophyletic and closely related to H.amamiohsimensis and H.moellendorffii rather than H.alternifolia.
