81540B59FFC8FFCEF0EFA70A0189B165.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology: — Harveya kiangombensis occurs in Embu County, Kenya, and is not known elsewhere. It is found in undergrowth of riverine vegetation at the edge of moist forest at altitude 1 330 – 1 350 m. There were two populations about 200 m apart at latitude 00 º. 33 ’ S and longitude 37 º. 41 ’ E, one underneath Phoenix reclinata Jacquin (1801: 27, t. 24), and the other under Croton sylvaticus Hochstetter (1845: 82.)	en	Ngugi, Grace, Kirika, Paul M., Mwachala, Geoffrey (2022): Harveya kiangombensis (Orobanchaceae), a new parasitic species from Kenya, East Africa.

81540B59FFC8FFCEF0EFA70A0189B165.taxon	conservation	Conservation status: — The new species is so far only known from two populations, both occurring in an ungazetted forest area, close to development and other extractive activities. We assess it here as Critically Endangered (CR B 1 a + 2 ab (iii )) based on an estimated extent of occurrence (EEO) of less than 100 km 2 existing at a single location (IUCN 2012).	en	Ngugi, Grace, Kirika, Paul M., Mwachala, Geoffrey (2022): Harveya kiangombensis (Orobanchaceae), a new parasitic species from Kenya, East Africa.
