Introduction
The present paper is in part an adjunct to that published by Harley & Pastore (2012), in which the genus Hyptis Jacq. (Lamiaceae), at that time with almost 300 species, was divided among 12 genera, of which nine were new. This followed on from an earlier paper (Pastore et al. 2011), in which a molecular analysis had shown that the genus Hyptis was seriously paraphyletic. It is necessary to explore the historical background, to see how the present classification of the Hyptidinae took shape, based largely on the work of Bentham (1833, 1848) and Epling (1949), in which Condea Adans. is placed.
In the 18th and early 19th century, there was much confusion over generic concepts in the Lamiaceae (Labiatae). Tropical American species discovered at that time, which were later to be assigned to subtribe Hyptidinae Endl. (Endlicher 1838), were often consigned to well-known European genera, such as Ballota L., Nepeta L., Satureja L. and Bystropogon L’Hérit. by Linnaeus and his contemporaries (Linnaeus (1759: 1097, 1100), Richard, L. (1792: 110), Poiret in Lamarck (1805: 571), L’Héritier (1787: 12). It was not until Bentham, in a series of papers, culminating in a revision of the entire family (Bentham 1833), brought order out of chaos, completing the basis on which all subsequent taxonomic progress on the family rested.
A botanist working in Jamaica in the Caribbean, Patrick Browne, was the first to validly publish a genus: Mesosphaerum P.Browne (1756: 257), which was based on a species of Hyptidinae. However, the species which he described was given a polynomial: Mesosphaerum “Hirsutum, foliis cordatis serrate-subsinuatis, floribus verticilliter spicatis”, and therefore remained invalid until Linnaeus published it in the genus Ballota L. as B. suaveolens L. (Linnaeus 1759). Seven years after the creation of Mesosphaerum by Browne, Adanson (1763) published another genus Condea Adans. also based on a species of Hyptidinae. He too, failed to make a valid species combination in the genus, merely listing Satureja americana, as a constituent species. Later, Jacquin (1787: 101), created the genus Hyptis Jacq., in which he included two species from the Caribbean, with small, rather insignificant flowers with a hinged anterior corolla lip, but each with remarkably different inflorescences. One of these, Hyptis capitata Jacq., with flowers in capitula, was destined to become the generic type of Hyptis (Green 1929: 107).
However, it was a French botanist, Pierre Antoine Poiteau (1806), who took up the name Hyptis, and published an account of 15 species, transferring some which had been wrongly placed in other genera, including Hyptis suaveolens (L.) Poit., as well as describing eight new species. Five of these are still recognised within Hyptis, today. Later, Otto Kuntze (1891: 525) discovered that there were two generic names for the group earlier than Hyptis, Mesosphaerum and Condea, and that the earlier of these, Mesosphaerum, should take precedence over Hyptis. He therefore recombined all known species of Hyptis (in all about 250 names), transferring them to Mesosphaerum.
These were not the only name changes made by Kuntze, and it was generally felt by botanists of the day that nomenclatural stability was more desirable than strict priority. In the case of Mesosphaerum and Condea, both of which predated Hyptis, it was considered necessary to dispose of them by conserving the genus Hyptis against them, and this was done by Briquet (1906). As the two former genera were based on different types from that of Hyptis, there was always the possibility that they could again become available, if ever the genus Hyptis were to be broken up. This occurred, as a result of molecular phylogenetic studies (Pastore et al. 2011, and Harley & Pastore 2012), when both genera were resurrected. The second species described by Jacquin, as Hyptis verticillata Jacq., is now placed in the genus Condea as C. verticillata (Jacq.) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore (2012: 15).
The tribe Ocimeae, subfam. Nepetoideae (Lamiaceae) to which the genus Condea, a member of the subtribe Hyptidinae belongs, is characterised by having declinate stamens, positioned close to the anterior corolla lip. The predominantly New World subtribe Hyptidinae is characterised by the stamens being enclosed within a boat-shaped anterior corolla lip (except in the Central American genus Asterohyptis, which has a greatly reduced corolla). The lip of the corolla has an elastic hinge at its base, holding the stamens under tension, to be released explosively, when a pollinator causes the corolla lip to suddenly flick back (Harley et al. 2004; Harley 1971).
Condea at present consists of 26 species, with a distribution ranging through much of tropical America. All species have at one time been included in the genus Hyptis. Condea is characterised by an often spiciform or raceme-like or diffusely paniculate thyrse of pedunculate or sessile, 1- to many-flowered cymes. The intercalary cyme-axes are contracted so that those species with pedunculate cymes, are ± subumbellate in form, and those with sessile cymes have flowers in fascicles or verticils, from the axils of subtending bracts. The flowers, which are medium-sized to small, are usually pedicellate, sometimes long-pedicellate. The gynoecium has a deciduous style, usually falling with the corolla, and lacks a persistent stylopodium.
Two sections are currently recognised (Harley & Pastore 2012): sect. Condea (typified by Condea verticillata) with 16 species, which occur mainly in the Caribbean, with one widespread species extending through southern Florida and Central America to the northern Andes, and another group in southern Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Bolivia. It is distinguished by having flowers solitary or in fascicles, in the axils of reduced or leafy bracts, and an indumentum of simple hairs. Six species of Condea sect. Condea are currently recorded from South America, not including the new species described below. All but one of these, Condea verticillata, occur in Brazil (BFG 2015).
The other section: sect. Laniflorae (Epling) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore (typified by Condea laniflora (Benth.) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore), occurs mainly in Central America (c. 10 species), with two other species in the Andes. These typically have dendroid hairs and flowers often in sub-umbellate, pedunculate clusters (see Harley & Pastore 2012).
Additional to the foregoing statistic, is a new species, described below, in this paper, from Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.
Material & Methods
In the course of many years' study of the Lamiaceae of Tropical America and especially of the subtribe Hyptidinae, extensive fieldwork, not only in Brazil, but also other in many other countries, was undertaken and many herbaria visited, not only in Tropical America but also in North America and Europe. As a result, a vast range of material has been examined. Collections of the new species from RB, B and from UC (Berkeley, California) were received for determination. The observations were compared with notes on, and images of, other herbarium material of Condea from K and from many other herbaria. These studies, together with an examination of the relevant bibliography, allowed the author to recognise this as a new and undescribed species. Herbarium acronyms follow Thiers (continuously updated), and conservation categories follow the IUCN Red List Criteria (IUCN 2016).
Taxonomic Treatment
No new South American species of this group, now treated as members of the genus Condea, had been recognised since Hyptis thyrsiflora Epling (1936) was published over 80 years ago. In the course of examining undetermined specimens from the Rio de Janeiro Botanic Garden, the author discovered an apparently unpublished new species, collected by Santos Lima & Brade, from one of the steep mountains that arise around the bay of Guanabara.
So far, three duplicates of this type collection, made over 80 years ago, have been located, only one of which can be found in the RB herbarium. Another duplicate, was sent to the author from the Berlin Herbarium (B), and a third, which had been annotated by Epling is now in UC (Berkeley, California), Epling determined it as “Hyptis (?) salviaefolia”, but this is quite clearly erroneous. This name is today more correctly known as Eriope salviifolia (Pohl ex Benth.) Harley. The specimen housed in RB repeats Epling’s original determination, but there is a separate brown slip of paper with, written in pencil in an unrecognised hand, “H. eriocalyx St. Hil.” and then underneath: “? = H. fasciculata var. tomentosa”. The type of H. eriocalyx A.St.-Hil. ex Benth. (Bentham 1833: 130), which is found in the Paris herbarium (P!) is a rather hairy form of another species: Condea undulata (Schrank) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore, while Hyptis fasciculata var. tomentosa Schmidt (in Martius 1858: 142) is based on Pohl 3768, which can be seen in the Vienna herbarium (W), and is also the type of the earlier Hyptis fasciculata Benth. var. tomentella Benth. (Bentham 1848: 129). Both these varieties are now correctly synonymised under Condea undulata. In the account below, all specimens have been seen by the author. The new species is here described below:

Fig. 1.
recognition. Condea petrensis is an erect shrub, to at least 60 cm tall, with membranous, ovate-lanceolate to ovate petiolate leaves 2.6 − 3.7 cm wide, and with a diffuse, terminal, thyrsoid panicle of flowers, arranged in 1- to 4-flowered verticils. Of the six species of Condea sect. Condea which occur in South America, it is most similar to C. floribunda (Briq.) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore, C. elegans (Briq.) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore and C. thyrsiflora (Epling) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore, all of which have similar diffuse inflorescences. The other species, such as C. undulata, C. fastigiata (Benth.) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore and C. verticillata have more slender, less branched, spiciform inflorescences. From C. elegans, the new species can be distinguished by its flowers on shorter pedicels 1.5 − 3.3 mm long (10 − 15 mm long in C. elegans); from C. thyrsiflora it is distinguished by the ovate-lanceolate to ovate leaves, with a rounded to truncate base and 4.8 − 6.5 cm long (leaves elliptic-lanceolate, with a long-attenuate base and up to 7 − 13 cm long in C. thyrsiflora), and with the fruiting calyx tube 3.8 − 4.5 mm in C. petrensis (c. 3 mm long in C. thyrsiflora). From C. floribunda, the new species can be distinguished by the fruiting calyx with tube 3.8 – 4.5 mm long, and the calyx lobes 0.8 – 1.0 mm long in C. petrensis (3.0 – 3.5 mm long and 0.5 mm long respectively in C. floribunda). Condea petrensis also occurs far from the range of these other species, none of which occurs in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
distribution. The species is known from only two collections, both from the same locality in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Santa Maria Madalena (Mun.): Pedra Dubois.

habitat. Rock outcrop on exposed slopes.
conservation status. In view of its rarity, and its semi-urban situation, the survival of Condea petrensis must be considered extremely precarious, the habitat is frequented by people and is probably vulnerable to fires. Indeed, as it was last seen over 30 years ago, there is the question as to whether it still exists. Hopefully these questions could be remedied by a further visit to the area. As it is so far only known at a single site, with no information as to population size, it should be considered as Critically Endangered, according to IUCN criteria (2016).
phenology. Flowering January and February.
etymology. From the Latin “petrensis”: found among rocks (Stearn 2004).
note. The holotype specimen is at the flowering stage, and mature fruiting material is very scarce. Five fruiting calyces were found and examined. These were all very similar. Each had only a single mature nutlet, the other three remaining undeveloped. The asymmetric nutlet apex has not so far been observed elsewhere in the genus and has not been recorded in other species of Hyptidinae.
Synopsis and key to South American species of Condea Adans.
Nine species of Condea are currently recorded from Tropical America, six of which occur in Brazil (Lista da Flora do Brasil on-line). The genus has been divided into two sections.

note. This and the following species have, in the past often been considered conspecific. Although treated as separate by Bentham (1833: 130), Schmidt (1858: 142) reduced Hyptis fastigiata to varietal status under Hyptis fasciculata. Epling (1949: 244 – 5), however, treated the two as synonymous, commenting in an unpublished note “the species (H. fasciculata) is reasonably variable, but I do not believe that the varieties proposed represent very well-defined geographical races”. However, with a large increase in number of collections available, the present author observed that the two taxa did indeed display different geographical, although partly overlapping, distributions, and could be distinguished morphologically. He therefore recognised the two as distinct subspecies (Harley 1985: 10 – 15). Some years later, he was able to examine both taxa in the field in Southern Brazil, noting that even when growing in the same area, they remained distinct, and he observed further differences not previously detected. As a result, their taxonomic status has reverted to that originally proposed by Bentham: as two distinct species (Harley & Pastore 2012: 14).

These two species with a large, much-branched terminal panicle of flowers appear to be related to two Mexican species: Condea iodantha (Epling) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore and C. subtilis (Epling) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore. Epling (1949) placed them, together with C. tafallae, into Hyptis sect. Umbellatae Epling.
A recently described Hyptis from northern Mexico (González et al. 2014) is more correctly placed in the genus Condea. González et al. described Hyptis macvaughii J.G.González & Art.Castro, from Mexico, and assigned it to Hyptis sect. Laniflorae Epling. This section has now been moved, as Condea subsect. Laniflorae (Epling) Harley & J.F.B.Pastore (2012). The following new combination is therefore required:
