Abstract

GUTIERREZ, Diego G.. Inkaliabum, a new Andean genus of Liabeae (Asteraceae) from Peru. Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. [online]. 2010, vol.45, n.3-4, pp.363-372. ISSN 1851-2372.

Inkaliabum, a new monotypic genus endemic to valleys and slopes of the Andes of Cuzco (Peru), is described. The species of genus Inkaliabum is a slender scandent subshrub with pinnately veined leaves, lacking latex, with few capitula in terminal and/or axillary capitulescences, widely campanulate involucres, many phyllaries, many florets per capitulum, and disc florets with corollas slightly differentiated into tube and throat, long style branches, and a short pubescent part of the style shaft. The new combination Inkaliabum diehlii, based on Liabum diehllii is established, and the species is illustrated. In addition, a key to the genera of Liabeae from Peru plus Oligactis is provided.

Keywords : Asteraceae; Endemism; Inkaliabum; Inkaliabum diehlii; Liabeae; Liabum; Peru.
