Abstract

Based on herbarium material collected in Bolivia, a species new to science, Philibertia woodii H.A. Keller & Goyder is described and illustrated here. The species is similar in its vegetative and floral morphology to Philibertia latiflora (Griseb.) Goyder, P. longistyla Goyder and P. speciosa (Malme) Goyder. The new species allows the list of taxa of the genus to be increased to 45.
