Abstract
Two new species of legume, Caesalpinia celendiniana and Mimosa lamolina and one new variety, Caesalpinia pluviosa var. maraniona, from the inter-Andean Rio Maranon Valley in northern Peru are described and illustrated. These add to the already impressive tally of endemics known from the seasonally dry tropical forests of the Rio Maranon Valley, which apparently far exceeds the endemic plant diversity from other nearby inter-Andean dry valleys in Peru and southern Ecuador.
