Rediscovery of a Neotropical rheophyte (Podostemaceae) after 160 years: implications for the location of conservation unit boundaries (Tocantins, Brazil)

Rediscovery of a Neotropical rheophyte (Podostemaceae) after 160 years: implications for the location of conservation unit boundaries (Tocantins, Brazil)

Podostemaceae (angiosperms) occur only in swift river currents. Podostemum flagelliforme is a member of this family that was originally described by materials collected from the Tocantins River in 1844. The species was known only from the type collection until 2013, when the authors rediscovered it...
