Abstract

Two new species of Mandevilla (subgenus Mandevilla) from Peru are described and illustrated. Mandevilla pristina is related to M. assimilis, M. holosericea and M. tubiflora, but differs by its leaves with domatia along the midvein, foliaceous bracts and longer sepals. Mandevilla vasquezii is similar to M. cercophylla, but differs by the length of the corolla tube and stamen insertion point.
