Abstract

Raputia, based onR. aromatica from French Guiana, comprises 10 species, which range from Venezuela and French Guiana to Amazonian Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. The genus can be recognized by the combination of opposite, 1-or 3-foliolate leaves cauline, circinate inflorescences; quincuncial sepals; and white or green, ± fleshy, 2-lipped corollas. Three new species are described:R. brevipedunculata from French Guiana and Amapá, BrazilR. megalantha from Amazonian Peru and adjacent Brazil; andR. simulans from the upper Amazon basin of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. Three new combinations are made:R. amazonica, R. szczerbanii, and R. hirsuta, and as a result of the latter,Achuaria becomes a synonym ofRaputia. A key to and descriptions and distribution maps of the species are prowided.
