“…Recent publications on the taxonomy of South American species of Valeriana subg. Phyllactis have focused either on small taxonomic entities (Weberling & Uhlarz 1977;Larsen 1986), or on the flora of specific regions (Borsini 1944;Eriksen 1989b). Together they contribute to an understanding of taxonomic relations within the subgenus, but much work has yet to be done to achieve a modem systematic overview, replacing the one published by Hock (1882).…”
Valeriana comosa and V. cumbemayensis, native to the northern Peruvian Andes, are described and illustrated and their systematic affiliations are given.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
