SALINAS, Nelson R.. Taxonomic novelties in Orthaea (Ericaceae: Vaccinieae). Caldasia [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.2, pp.241-249. ISSN 0366-5232.  https://doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v42n2.79922.

Several taxonomical novelties of the genus Orthaea (Ericaceae: Vaccinieae) are presented. Two new species, O. eteocles and O. fissiflora, are described and illustrated, the limits of O. glandulifera are redefined to include O. oedipus as a synonym, and the status of a poorly known species, O. ignea, is also discussed.

Keywords : Andean flora; biodiversity; neotropical plants.
