Abstract
Summary Four new species of Matelea , endemic to Mexico, are proposed and described: M. balrog, M. cornuta, M. jaimesiae and M. lokii. These taxa differ from each other and M. gonoloboides , M. medusae and M. porphyrantha (the Matelea gonoloboides species complex) in their corolla shapes and gynostegial corona ornamentation. Descriptions, illustrations, morphological comparisons and geographic distributions of these species, as well as their conservation status, are provided. A lectotypification for the name M. gonoloboides is also included . These discoveries highlight Mexico as a centre of diversity and endemism for the genus, with 69 species currently known from the country, of which 66% are restricted to it.
期刊介绍：
Kew Bulletin is an international peer-reviewed journal for the taxonomy, systematics and conservation of vascular plants and fungi. Papers on conservation, evolution, palynology, cytology, anatomy, biogeography and phytochemistry are considered, where relevant to taxonomy and systematics. Review papers on topics appropriate to the journal are invited. The journal is richly illustrated with line drawings and photographs, and also features a Book Review and Notices section. Four parts (c. 640 pp) are published each year.
