Abstract

Podandrogyne chocoensis and Podandrogyne caucana, two new species of Cleomaceae from western Colombia and eastern Panama, are described and illustrated. In view of their probable relationship to each other, but somewhat isolated position with respect to the majority of species of Podandrogyne, the new subsection Breviracemosae is proposed.
