Abstract

Paypayrola is a small genus of Violaceae consisting of small trees or shrubs found in the humid forests of South America. The boundaries between species have proven problematic, particularly among taxa in the Amazon. Through the analysis of Paypayrola specimens from this region, we have identified two new species, potentially restricted to campinarana vegetation. Paypayrola oppositifolia and P. pubiflora are distinguished from other known species in the genus by their phyllotaxy and the indumentum of reproductive parts. We provide morphological descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, conservation status of the new species, and compare them with Amazonian species that are morphologically similar.
