Systematic Position of the Genus 47 .- 3 r '.t ....~ . . ......... FIG 13. <strong>Manihot</strong> Manibot rubricaulis subsp rubricaulis. A, basal lobe of leaf showing the characteristic 'S' shaped curve (Palmer 224, UC); B, inflorescence (Palmer 224, UC). M. rubricaulis subsp isoloba. C, leaf (Townsend & Barber 404, BM); D, inflorescence (Gentry 1468, ARIZ).
48 Flora Neotropica the middle, dichotomously and trichotomously branching, branches with a tendency to spread out. All parts of the plant with strong odor of HCN. Roots slightly swollen; epidermis rough, strong brown (5 YR 4/5) subepidermis white. Young stems glabrous, strong brown (5 YR 4/5), internally light yellow-green (7.5 GY 9/4); mature stems brownish gray; latex cream colored. Young foliage at apex strong yellow-green (7.5 GY 6/8). Leaves alternate, stipules deciduous, glabrous; petioles generally 10.0-15.0 cm long, terete, dull red-green with some olive shading; lamina nonpeltate, ventral surface deep green, glabrous; dorsal surface pale green, glabrous, midribs and major veins prominent, abaxial surface wax pattern reticulate; venation camptodromous; palmately 7 lobed, 3 major, 2 smaller, and often 2 minute lobes; median lobes usually ca 10.0 cm long and ca 4.0 cm wide, obovate-pandurate, occasionally obovate, entire lobed, the primary constriction of pandurate lobes shallow to deep, apex varies from almost truncate with an acute conical tip in the middle, to acuminate. Plants begin to flower when ca 1.0 m tall; inflorescence a short, moneocious, axillary raceme, usually ca 5.0 cm long, never longer than 8.0 cm, pedicels comparatively longer at base, gradually decreasing in length towards apex, giving the inflorescence a more or less conical shape, all parts glabrous; bracteoles setaceous, less than 0.3 cm in length, margin smooth; bractlets setaceous. Pistillate flowers restricted to the base of the inflorescence, borne on 1.0-2.0 cm long pedicles, tepals externally brilliant yellow-green (2.5 GY 9/8), cleft to the base into 5 lobes, lobes lanceolate-oblong, disc fleshy, entire, brilliant yellow-green (2.5 GY 9/8), ovary subglobose, entire, the three divisions of the stigma moderately lobed and lobulate. Staminate flowers characteristically conical, often as long as 1.8 cm, tepals brilliant yellowish green externally (2.5 GY 9/8), cleft 1/3 of the way down into 5 lobes, lobes tapering, acuminate, disc 10 lobed, brilliant yellowish green (2.5 GY 9/8), stamens 10, in 2 whorls of 5 each, filaments and anthers white. Fruit pedicels 1.0-2.0 cm long, slightly curved downwards; capsules more or less globular, ca 1.5 cm long from base to apex, surface slightly rugose, with 6 very small wings, apex rounded, fruit dehiscence septicidal. Seeds oblong, ca 0.9 cm long, carunculate and bluntly acute, caruncle moderately prominent. Fig 14B, C, D. TYPE. Rogers 505: Mexico, Oaxaca: 17 km ENE of Juchitan, 22 Jul 1963 (holotype, NY; isotypes, COLO, F, G, K, MEXU, MO, P, S, SP, UC, US, W). DISTRIBUTION. (Fig 14A). Mexico: Oaxaca. Flourishes in the plains and foothills surrounding Juchitan and Tehuantepec, and upstream on both sides of Rio Tehuantepec; to 150 m. It appears that the range of this species extends upwards as high as 1000 m, towards the headwaters of Rio Tehuantepec. Webster, Miller & Miller 11641, collected at an alt of 870 m, may represent an ecotypic form of this taxon, but the poor condition of the specimen does not render critical comparisons possible. Similarly Conzatti 2413, collected from Quiotepec, Cuicatlan at an alt of 700 m resembles M. oaxacana, but positive identification has not been possible due to the poor condition of the specimen. Further collections from these areas will confirm the possibility of the range of this species extending along the northeastern foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur, up to Cuicatlan which is on the periphery of the range of Manibotoides pauciflora. In the typical habitat along the foothills near Juchitan and Tehuantepec, large self-seeding colonies are common. <strong>Manihot</strong> oaxacana grows under partial shade in a relatively undisturbed vegetation composed of thorny leguminous trees, shrubs, cacti, etc. Appears to be adapted to grow in several soil types such as sandy (King 1213), loose limestone with coarse friable reddish brown soil mantle (Rogers 507), metamorphic rock (Webster, Miller & Miller 12955), and lateritic soil on noncalcareous rocks (Webster, Miller & Miller 11641).
