The genus Blumenavia (Clathraceae, Phallales)

Abstract

In this manuscript we present descriptions, comments, illustrations, color photographs and a key to identify the two known species of Blumenavia: B. rhacodes and B. angolensis. Both species occur in Southern Brazil and the presented data are based on recently collected and herbarium specimens. Blumenavia angolensis is reported for the first time from the States of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul (Southern Brazil).
