Abstract
Four new species of Mouriri and one of Votomita are described and illustrated. Mouriri coibensis is reduced to a variety of M. gleasoniana [M. gleasoniana var. coibensis]. The relation of Votomita to Mouriri is discussed in the light of new information on seed structure; no change in generic boundaries is recommended for the present. Supplementary descriptions and drawings of M. longifolia and V. pubescens are provided. [The new species are the following: M. osaensis, M. papillosa, M. latihila, M. retentipetala and V. roraimensis].This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
