Title
Three new species of Jaltomata (Solanaceae) from Ancash, Peru
Abstract
Three new Jaltomata species from the department of Ancash, Peru, are described and illustrated. The three species are distinguished from others in the genus by features of the flowers, hairs, and leaves. Fruits of Jaltomata cajacayensis S. Leiva and Mione are gathered for consumption. Jaltomata lomana Mione and S. Leiva is known only from a single fog-dependent plant community, a lomas formation. Jaltomata yungayensis Mione and S. Leiva is widely distributed at high elevations.
