Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions

Three new Andean species of the ge¬ nus Huberia DC. are described and illustrated.These species were found between 1500 and 3350 m in restricted areas of northwestern Peru.The presence of staminodes in H. staminodia represents a new record for this fforal structure for Huberia.A key is also provided for the four species of Huberia occurring in the Andean region: H. cogniauxii, H. peruviana , //. staminodia , and //.weberbaueriana.Huberia DC. is a neotropical genus of 16 species, the majority of which occur in eastern Brazil.Only one species, //.peruviana, was known to occur in Andean Ecuador and Peru.During a recent taxo¬ nomic revision of this genus (Baumgratz, 1997), species new to science were discovered, of which three, //.cogniauxii, //.staminodia, and //.weber¬ baueriana, from the Peruvian Andes are described, illustrated, and mapped (Fig. 1).
