Abstract

Nine species of Dacryodes (Dacryodes canaliculata, D. cristalinae, D. huamaniensis, D. metallica, D. panamensis, D. robusta, D. samanae, D. transitionis and D. yaliensis) are described and illustrated. Seven of the nine new taxa are distributed along the Andean cordillera, from Antioquia, Colombia to La Paz, Bolivia; one is the second known species of Dacryodes from Panama; and one is from Vaupés, Colombia. All species have a restricted distribution except D. yaliensis, whose elevation range is 200–2000 m. The new species are each represented by from only one to three specimens. We discuss the probable causes of an evident slowdown in Neotropical plant collections.

Resumen

Nueve especies de Dacryodes son descritas e ilustradas (Dacryodes canaliculata, D. cristalinae, D. huamaniensis, D. metallica, D. panamensis, D. robusta, D. samanae, D. transitionis y D. yaliensis). Siete de los nuevos taxa se distribuyen a lo largo de la Cordillera de Los Andes, desde Antioquia, Colombia hasta La Paz, Bolivia; una es la segunda especie de Dacryodes conocida para Panamá; y una en Vaupés, Colombia. Todas las especies presentan una distribución restringida excepto D. yaliensis y su rango altitudinal va desde los 200 a los 2000 m de elevación. Todas las nuevas especies están representadas por uno a tres especímenes únicamente. Se discuten las posibles causas de la evidente disminución en colección de plantas en el Neotrópico.
