Abstract

Kurzia brasiliensis is new to Colombia compared to the two taxa hitherto known from here (Kurzia capillaris and Kurzia flagellifera). Kurzia capillaris ssp. paramicola is described, as new to science. The latter is distinct in having erect leaves adherent to the stem with leaf segments composed mostly of two rows of cells. All four taxa are known from the peaty soil in the páramos in Colombia, at an altitude of 3230–3750 m. A key with illustrations of all Colombian taxa is provided here.
