Two new species of Rubiaceae (Condamineeae) are here described and illustrated. Pentagonia baumannii is a shrub endemic to the lowlands of northwestern Ecuador. The second novelty is P. carniflora, an unbranched to few-branched pachycaule tree restricted to the eastern lowlands of the Departments of Antioquia and Caldas in northwestern Colombia. The relations of both species with their closest relatives are discussed.
