Abstract

Three new endemic species of Magnolia from Guatemalan cloud forest are described and illustrated: Magnolia emilceana from Baja Verapaz Department, M. harnpariphana from Baja and Alta Verapaz Departments and M. juliana from Alta Verapaz Department. Additionally, relationships with other species are discussed, and preliminary conservation status is assigned for each species. A dichotomous key is provided for the species of Magnolia sect. Magnolia from Guatemala.
