| Summary: | A phylogenetic study was carried out for the section Punctati of the genus Lonchocarpus and related genera, based on molecular and morphological data. The section Punctati is monophyletic and consists of three geographically correlated clades (Mexico, Mexico-South America and the West Indies), they are also characterized by different seedling types. Nine new species of Lonchocarpus adamsii, L. antioquiensis, L. brachyanthus, L. crassicalyx, L. grandifoliolatus, L. gyroides, L. major, L. sumiderensis and L. tenorioi are described and illustrated, based mainly on morphological evidence including that of the seedlings. |
