Abstract
Three new species of Bunchosia are described and illustrated Bunchosia cuscana from Andean Peru bears two pseudoracemes per leaf axil instead of the more common single inflorescence and is compared with B argentea with which it shares abaxially densely sericeous leaf blades and a 2carpellate ovary The 3carpellate Mexican B hedraiophylla has nearly sessile leaves and a paniculate inflorescence an unusual character in Bunchosia that separates it from the B macrophylla complex Bunchosia neillii from Amazonian Ecuador is 3carpellate and has glabrous leaves and petals with a glandular margin A key is provided to separate B neillii from similar species of western Amazonia and the Andes and of eastern BrazilKarin Douthit drew the handsome illustrations The curators of MICH and MO kindly provided access to their collections I thank Tom Daniel and Scott Mori for their helpful reviews This study was supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation to the University of Michigan DEB0543909
