A revision of Cuban Bunchosia (Malpighiaceae), with description of a new subspecies from Hispaniola

摘要

The Cuban representatives of Bunchosia are revised, based on the study of herbarium specimens and observations in the field. Instead of the eight species reported for Cuba in the literature, only four native species of Bunchosia grow on Cuba. Two are endemic, one consists of an endemic subspecies and a second one, newly described, replacing it on Hispaniola. For the Cuban taxa, descriptions, synonymies with type citations and a key for identification are provided.
