Abstract
During a revision of the Sematophyllaceae for the Flora of Southern
Africa project, we found a new species of Sematophyllum. Aquatic with
poorly developed alar region, it is one of the biggest of the genus in
southern Africa. It is only known from the Afromontane region and is not
particularly threatened inasmuch as it occurs in a number of protected
areas. Details of its morphological characters are illustrated and the
geographical distribution mapped. A key to the species of Sematophyllum
in southern Africa is also provided.
