description Aristolochia chiapensis, a woody vine inhabiting secondary vegetation derived from high evergreen forest, is described. This species grows in margins of rivers and lakes in the northeastern portion of Chiapas, Mexico, mainly in the Lacandon rainforest. This new taxon belongs to a group of closely related species (Aristolochia asclepiadifolia Brandg., A. paracleta Pfeifer, A. steyermarkii Standl., A. veracruzana Ortega), sharing the presence of three stigmatic lobes and six stamens united into a gynostemium. However, it differs from the remaining members of this group in its bigger inflorescence, calyx and medium lobe of the limb, as well as in the whitish coloration and rugose surface inside the calyx utricle.

Aristolochia chiapensis, a woody vine inhabiting secondary vegetation derived from high evergreen forest, is described. This species grows in margins of rivers and lakes in the northeastern portion of Chiapas, Mexico, mainly in the Lacandon rainforest. This new taxon belongs to a group of closely related species (Aristolochia asclepiadifolia Brandg., A. paracleta Pfeifer, A. steyermarkii Standl., A. veracruzana Ortega), sharing the presence of three stigmatic lobes and six stamens united into a gynostemium. However, it differs from the remaining members of this group in its bigger inflorescence, calyx and medium lobe of the limb, as well as in the whitish coloration and rugose surface inside the calyx utricle. Se describe Aristolochia chiapensis, una liana que habita la vegetación secundaria derivada de selva alta perennifolia. Esta planta crece a orillas de ríos o lagos de la parte nororiental del estado de Chiapas, principalmente en la región de la Selva Lacandona. El nuevo taxon pertenece a un grupo de especies estrechamente relacionadas (Aristolochia asclepiadifolia Brandg., A. paracleta Pfeifer, A. steyermarkii Standl., A. veracruzana Ortega), con las que comparte la presencia de tres lóbulos estigmáticos y seis estambres unidos en un ginostemo. Sin embargo, se diferencia de los demás componentes de este conjunto por la inflorescencia, el cáliz y lóbulo central del limbo de mayor tamaño, así como por la coloración blanquecina y la superficie rugosa en el interior del utrículo del cáliz.
