| Abstract: | During a revision of Venezuelan species of Stylosanthes Sw., two quite distinct specimens were found. After a detailed survey of the literature and herbarium material, it was concluded that they belong to an undescribed species. The new species Stylosanthes falconensis Calles & Schultze-Kr. (belonging to section Styposanthes Vogel), endemic to the Sierra San Luis in the State of Falcón, is here described. An illustration is provided and the differences between the new taxon and Stylosanthes hamata (L.) Taub., a closely related species, are presented. |
