<strong>A new species of <em>Varronia</em> P. Browne (Cordiaceae) from central Colombia</strong>

Abstract

A new species, Varronia teguorum Fern. Alonso &amp; J.I.M. Melo (Cordiaceae), from central Colombia is described. This new taxon is compared morphologically with V. subtruncata and V. bullata, the species with which it is most easily confused. An identification key for the Varronia species with globose inflorescences from Colombia/northern South America is presented.
