Abstract
Burmeistera salicifolia Garzón, Luteyn & F. González (Campanulaceae, Lobelioideae), a new species from the departments of Chocó and Valle del Cauca in Colombia, is illustrated and described, and its affinities are discussed. The species is a small epiphytic to terrestrial herb with a green corolla. It stands out from other species by its narrow leaves with brochidodromous venation; the short, broadly triangular calyx lobes; and the subequal, narrowly ovate-lanceolate corolla lobes that are at right angles with the tube. Burmeistera salicifolia is assigned to Burmeistera Triana sect. Burmeistera because the tips of the ventral anthers lack a tuft of trichomes. The new species grows in the understory of wet montane forests of the Western Cordillera of Colombia, in the Chocó–Valle del Cauca border area.Se describe e ilustra Burmeistera salicifolia Garzón, Luteyn & F. González (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae), una nueva especie de los departamentos del Chocó y Valle del Cauca, Colombia, y se discuten sus afinidades. La nueva especie es una pequeña hierba epífita o terrestre, con corola verde, que se distingue por la lámina foliar angosta con venación broquidódroma, los lóbulos del cáliz cortos, ancho-triangulares, y los lóbulos de la corola subiguales, angostamente ovado-lanceolados, y en ángulo recto con respecto al tubo. Burmeistera salicifolia se asigna a Burmeistera Triana sect. Burmeistera, debido a que el ápice de las anteras ventrales carece de penachos de tricomas barbados. La nueva especie crece en el sotobosque de bosques montanos húmedos de la Cordillera Occidental de Colombia, en los bordes entre los departamentos del Chocó y el Valle del Cauca.
