Abstract
A new species, Ticanto xylocarpa K. W. Jiang & Shi J. Li is described and illustrated here. It is superficially similar to T. magnifoliolata in its leaf shape and ferruginous young branches and inflorescence axes. However, it is readily distinguished by the ligneous and wingless pods that are dehiscent when mature. Calculations of Area of Occupancy (AOO) and Extent of Occurrence (EOO) suggest that Ticanto xylocarpa meets the criteria for Least Concern (LC) in the IUCN Red List.
