Abstract (en):
The new species Elaeagia pacisnascis (Condamineeae, Rubiaceae), from the central northern part of the Cordillera Oriental of Colombia, is described. Differences in comparison to similar species of the northern Andes and Central America are also documented. This new species is characterized by its large flowers with corolla auriculate and imbricate lobes, and pauciflorous inflorescence. Its categorization as an Endangered (EN) species is recommended due to a restricted distribution and habitat specificity.
