Gonzalez & Pabon-Mora 2014	<div><p>Pilostyles boyacensis F. González &amp; Pabón-Mora,  sp. nov.</p><p>Type —:   COLOMBIA. Department of Boyacá, Chíquiza,  vereda Juan Díaz, 2415 m, 30 Nov 2013 (fl, fr), F. González 4508 (holotype HUA ;  isotypes COL,  NY). Fig. 1</p><p>Species similar to  Pilostyles thurberi A. Gray (1854: 326) differing for being monoecius (versus dioecious in  P. thurberi), and for the smaller (2–3 × 1.5–2.5 mm versus 3–4 × 2–4 mm in  P. thurberi), tubular flowers (versus bell shaped in  P. thurberi), nearly cleistogamous (versus the expanded petals in  P. thurberi), with purple (versus red-brown in  P. thurberi) outer and middle scales and 5 to 6 petals [versus 4(5) in  P. thurberi].</p><p>Holoparasitic, monoecious plants. Flower cushions numerous, fusiform, oriented longitudinally. Flowers gregarious; floral buds initially developed in rows of 3–10 flowers; carpellate and staminate flowers often found on each row, but the former appear to be more frequent, tubular and almost cleistogamous. Outer and middle scales free and arranged in approximately two whorls of 5 (6) organs each, imbricate, widely oblong, 0.8–1.2 × 0.6–1.0 mm, purple, adaxially and abaxially finely grooved; petals (5)6, free, bright white, oblong, 0.7–1.1 × 0.5–0.9 mm, imbricate, not expanded at anthesis; margin of scales and petals entire or sometimes very slightly crenulate. Central column pale yellowish, reaching the same length as the petals, basally surrounded by a nectarial disk in both staminate and carpellate flowers. Staminate flowers with pollen sacs irregularly arranged in 3–4 rings below a roof-like fringe of pure white papillae; vestigial ovary absent. Carpellate flowers with an inferior ovary (with respect to the petals; semi-inferior with respect to the middle scales), unilocular, ovules numerous (100+ per ovary) attached to a proliferating parietal placenta, bitegmic, semi-anatropous; stigma cupuliform, umbonate; vestigial pollen sacs absent. Fruits bacciform, depressed, subglobose, 2.5–3.5 mm in diameter, pink to white, surrounded by the persistent lower and middle floral scales; seeds numerous (80+ per fruit), pyriform.</p><p>Distribution —: The new species is known only from four populations restricted to dry thickets in the department of Boyacá, Colombia (Fig. 3), above 2000 meters in elevation.</p><p>Paratypes —: COLOMBIA.
