A new species of Endiandra (Lauraceae) is described from New Guinea. Endiandra kassamensis is described based on specimens collected over four decades ago. Unlike most Endiandra which grow in lowland forest, E. kassamensis is found in high altitude forest. The species is characterized by the presence of staminodia with the absence of staminal glands.

RESUMEN

A partir de la revisi\ón taxon\ómica de exsicatas depositadas en herbarios nacionales y extranjeros, se exponen los aportes al conocimiento taxon\ómico del g\énero Persea (Lauraceae) en Venezuela. Se reportan 24 especies, incluyendo una especie y dos variedades nuevas para la ciencia, nuevos reportes para el pa\ís, ampliaciones de distribuci\ón, mapas de distribuci\ón y una clave actualizada para la determinaci\ón de especies en Venezuela. Utilizando el paquete DELTA, se obtuvieron descripciones en lenguaje natural y una clave interactiva para la identificaci\ón de taxones.

ABSTRACT

A taxonomical revision was carried out for species of Persea (Lauraceae) in Venezuela from vouchers deposited at Venezuelan and foreign herbaria. Twenty-four species, including one new species and two new varities, new registers to Venezuela, expansion of distribution, distribution maps, and updated key for species at north and south of Orinoco River are reported. Descriptions in natural language and an interactive key for identification were obtained using Delta Software.
