González, A. & H. A. Keller. 2020. The genus Oxypetalum (Apocynaceae) in Uruguay, a new species and a key for identification. Darwiniana, nueva serie 8(1): 318-327.

Based on herbarium material collected in Rivera, Uruguay, a species new to science, Oxypetalum brussae H.A. Keller & A. González is described and illustrated here. The species is similar in its vegetative and floral morphology to Oxypetalum teyucuarense Farinaccio & H.A. Keller. The new species allows the list of taxa of the genus for Uruguay to be increased to 19, three of which are endemic to this country.

Keywords : Asclepiadoideae; new taxon; Oxypetalinae; taxonomy..
