Abstract

A new checklist and key to the species of Monnina in the flora of Venezuela, which currently includes 16 species, are presented. M. salicifolia and M. smithii, the former previously known along the Andes from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, and the latter from Colombia, are reported here as new country records. Through the revision of the nomenclature and typification of Venezuelan Monnina species, six leptotypifications (M. aestuans, M. cladostachya, M. densa, M. elongata, M. mollis and M. solandrifolia) and one neotypification (M. meridensis) are designated. In a geographical and taxonomical context, Monnina coriacea is considered a synonym of M. meridensis, whereas M. densa and M. duidae are regarded here as distinct from M. aestuans and M. cacumina, respectively.

Se presenta una nueva lista y clave de las especies de Monnina para la Flora de Venezuela, las cuales incluyen 16 especies. Se registran para la flora de Venezuela a M. salicifolia y M. smithii, dos especies previamente conocidas de los Andes de Colombia, Ecuador, Perú y Bolivia la primera, y Colombia la segunda. A traves de la revisión de la nomenclatura de las especies venezolanas de Monnina, se proponen seis leptotipificaciones (M. aestuans, M. cladostachya, M. densa, M. elongata, M. mollis and M. solandrifolia) y una neotipificación (M. meridensis). En un contexto geográfico y taxonómico, Monnina coriacea es considerada sinonimo de M. meridensis, mientras que M. densa y M. duidae son consideradas diferentes de M. aestuans y M. cacumina, respectivamente.
