Sommera cusucoana,Scientists Uncover New Coffee Tree Species in Honduras

This new species belongs to the coffee family Rubiaceae, according to a paper published in the journal PhytoKeys.
Named Sommera cusucoana, the species is a 33 foot (10 m) high tree with cream-colored flowers and red, cherry-like fruits (at all developmental stages).
It was discovered during an ecological survey of montane rain forest vegetation in Cusuco National Park in Honduras by Dr Daniel Kelly and Dr Anke Dietzsch from Trinity College, University of Dublin, Ireland.
Only two individual trees were located, about the same size and within a few feet of each other.
“The site is within Cusuco National Park, in the upper slopes of the Sierra del Merendón. These upper slopes are largely covered by montane rain forest vegetation,” the scientists said.READ MORE-http://www.sci-news.com/biology/science-coffee-tree-sommera-cusucoana-03341.html
