Plant chemical constituents analysis

Three new species belonging to the Bouvardia genus are recognised and described by the authors of the paper. B. lancifolia Borhidi et Salas-Morales of Oaxaca from the relationship of B. rosea Schltdl. of Central Mexico, the B. sinaloae Borhidi et E. Martínez Salas of Sinaloa, related to the B. sancaroli Borhidi et M. Martínez-Díaz of Tamaulipas and the B. tenuis Borhidi et Salas-Morales of Oaxaca related to the B. rzedowskii Terrell et S. D. Koch of Guerrero and Oaxaca proved to be new for science. Detailed studies of floral characters led to confirm the correct circumscription of the Bouvardia bouvardioides (Seem.) Standl. and its separation from the B. pallida Standl., a definitely valid species for the Mesoamerican flora, living in Guatemala and San Salvador. Consequently, B. bouvardioides has to be considered as an endemic of Central Mexico.
