Una nueva especie de Hyptis (Labiatae) de Colombia

Abstract

The shruby new species, Hyptis jacobi Fern. Alonso, only known from the central Chicamocha valley (Department of Santander) in the western slope of the Cordillera Oriental of Colombia, is described and illustrated. This species is related to the Andine H. tafallae (Sect. Umbellatae) but is quite different from other Hyptis previously known from Colombia.
