New occurrence and description of male flower of Struthanthus ophiostylus (Loranthaceae)
Abstract
Struthanthus Mart. is considered one of the largest genera of Neotropical mistletoes, and even with the absence of revision studies, new species are periodically described. In 2014, Struthanthus ophios-tylus Kuijt was described for Peru from an incomple-te specimen. The revisions of this group of plants to the Flora of Brazil brought the discovery of a male specimen collected in Acre. Based on this material, the descriptions of its staminate flowers as well as the record of its new occurrence are provided here.
