description Background and Aims: Since its publication, in 1941, Chloraea multilineolata had not been recorded again and the reports of this species in subsequent literature were based on erroneous identifications. In this work, the taxonomic identity of several populations of Chloraea species recorded during recently fieldwork carried on during 2016 and 2019 in southern Peru was studied. Methods: Fresh material and photographic records of the several recently discovered populations of Chloraea were studied and compared with protologues, original material, taxonomic literature, and specimens of Chloraea or digital images of them deposited in Peruvian and foreign herbaria. Key results: The studied populations were determined to represent C. multilineolata. An updated description of the species based on fresh material and the protologue is presented. In addition, color photographic plates illustrating its vegetative and floral morphology, a line drawing of the perianth, information on its habitat, and a map of its known distribution are included, as well as an assessment of its extinction risk using the categories and criteria of the Red List of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Conclusions: Chloraea multilineolata is endemic to the Peruvian departments of Apurímac, Ayacucho, and Cusco, being restricted to dry inter-Andean valleys between 2000 and 2900 m elevation. Only one of the five known localities is in a protected natural area (Área de Conservación Regional Choquequirao) and the assessment of its conservation status indicates that it should be considered as Endangered.

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Desde su publicación, en 1941, Chloraea multilineolata no había sido registrada y sus reportes en la literatura subsecuente se basaron en determinaciones erróneas. En este trabajo se estudió la identidad taxonómica de varias poblaciones de una especie de Chloraea registradas durante el trabajo de campo llevado a cabo entre 2016 y 2019 en el sur de Perú. Métodos: Se estudiaron material fresco y registros fotográficos de las poblaciones de Chloraea recientemente descubiertas y se compararon con los protólogos de todas las especies peruanas de este género, su material tipo, literatura taxonómica y ejemplares de Chloraea o fotografías digitales disponibles en herbarios peruanos y extranjeros. Resultados clave: Se determinó que las poblaciones estudiadas representan a C. multilineolata. Se presenta una descripción actualizada de la especie basada en material fresco y en el protólogo. Además, se incluyen láminas fotográficas a color, un dibujo lineal del perianto, información sobre su hábitat y un mapa de su distribución conocida. Así mismo, se da a conocer una evaluación de su riesgo de extinción usando las categorías y criterios de la Lista Roja de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN). Conclusiones: Chloraea multilineolata es endémica de los departamentos peruanos de Apurímac, Ayacucho y Cusco, y restringe su presencia a los valles interandinos secos, localizados entre 2000 y 2900 m de altitud. Solo una de las cinco localidades conocidas se encuentra en un área natural protegida (Área de Conservación Regional Choquequirao); la evaluación del estado de conservación de la especie indica que debe considerársele En Peligro de Extinción.
