Plantae colombianae. – iii: investigationes specierum saurauiae: locus primus

Abstract

As a result of preliminary studies towards a revision of the American species of Saurauia, I have found it advisable to present the following notes on new or otherwise interesting species from Colombia. Mosf of the classical collections of New World species. of Saurauia are preserved in European herbaria. These are at present unavailable for study. For this reason, I have thought it valuable to call attention to recent and ample collections which have either been compared with authentic material or which have been critically determined. It is with pleasure that I thank Miss Inés de Zulueta and Mr. Gordon W. Dillon for their beautifully executed drawings of several of the new species herein described.
