Abstract

GONZALEZ, Favio  and  VELEZ-PUERTA, Jorge Mario. Two new species of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae: Lobelioideae) from Antioquia, Colombia. Caldasia [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.2, pp.271-283. ISSN 0366-5232.  https://doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v40n2.70457.

Burmeistera fistulosa and B. reclinata, both from the department of Antioquia (Colombia), are here described and illustrated. The first species is similar to B. tomentosula, from which it differs by the glabrous surfaces, the petiole 1.4-2 cm long, the lamina elliptic to ovate, the reduced subtending leaves, the calyx lobes 2.5-3.5 x 0.8-1.2 mm, the ventral anthers barbate, and the white, obconic to ellipsoids berries. The second species is similar to B. diazii, from which it differs by the narrowly ovate leaves with 5-6 pairs of secondary veins and higher order veins inconspicuous beneath, the glabrous flowers with calyx lobes 5-9 x 0.6-1 mm, half of the corolla length or less, the barbate ventral anthers, and the white berries suffused with vinaceous lines.

Keywords : Cloud forests; northern Andean endemism; Flora of Antioquia; Lobelioideae; Las Orquídeas National Natural Park.
