Abstract
PEDRAZA-PENALOSA, PAOLA. Themistoclesia diazii, a new relative of the Colombian mortiños (Ericaceae: Vaccinieae). Caldasia [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.1, pp.99-105. ISSN 0366-5232. https://doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v37n1.50817.
A new species of Ericaceae (Vaccinieae) from the Colombian Valle del Cauca, Themistoclesia diazii, is here described, illustrated, and discussed. The new species has a peculiar floral morphology that has not previously been observed in the genus. The species is very rare and known only from patches of montane forest that surround tea plantations.
