Three new Antillean species of Erythroxylum are described: E. mogotense and E. banaoense from Cuba and E. domingense from Hispaniola. The main diagnostic characters are leaf morphology, stipules and number of flowers per axil. Phenology, ecology and chorology are also relevant criteria. E. williamsii, described from Venezuela, is a new record for Hispaniola.
