Abstract
ABSTRACT Caraipa andina from La Fundación, in the western Andes of Venezuela (Táchira State) is described, illustrated, and its morphological relationship with an allied species is discussed. This new species is morphologically related to C. heterocarpa Ducke, but it differs by the leaf blade shape, size, and dense abaxial papillae; fewerflowered inflorescence; and shorter pedicel, flower buds, petals, and filaments. Phytogeographical information about the La Fundación area is presented. This species represents the first report of this genus in the Venezuelan Andes.
