Abstract

A new species of Vasivaea Baill. (Malvaceae, Grewioideae, Grewieae) from central and northwestern Colombia is described, illustrated, and their morphological relationships with related species are discussed. Vasivaea distopo is a tree up to 20 m tall, common in floodplain lowland forests (20–220 m elev.) located in the middle Magdalena, the lower Cauca, Nechí, and Atrato river basins. It is characterized by its tubular androgynophore with free lobes in staminate flowers and obcordate fruit shape. Vasivaea distopo represents the first species of this genus recorded from outside the Amazon, Essequibo, and Orinoco River basins. Geographical and phenological information, data about its conservation status, and an updated key to species are presented.
