Description

We describe a new species of the Geminata clade of Solanum from Colombia and provide new distributional records for two additional Solanum species, recorded here for the first time in Colombia. Solanum bohsii J.D. Tovar, sp. nov. is morphologically similar to S. chlamydogynum Bitter from Venezuela of the Solanum sessile species group (Geminata clade). These two species can be distinguished by trichome morphology, as well as colour and density of the indumentum. In addition, we report new range expansions into Colombia for two species: S. tanysepalum S.Knapp (Geminata clade) known previously only from Venezuela and S. verecundum M.Nee (Brevantherum clade) from Ecuador and Peru.
