Abstract

The new species Gentianella zaratei J. S. Pringle (Gentianaceae) is described from the departments of Potosí and Oruro, Bolivia. It has longitudinally striped, scarlet and yellow, scarcely opening corollas like those of G. erythrochrysea (Gilg) Fabris and G. hirculus (Griseb.) Fabris but differs in its ascending, narrowly linear leaves.
