Abstract

Fleischmann A., Wistuba A. & Nerz J.: Three new species of Heliamphora (Sarraceniaceae) from the Guayana Highlands of Venezuela. — Willdenowia 39: 273-283. — Online ISSN 1868-6397; © 2009 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. doi:10.3372/wi.39.39206 (available via http//dx.doi.org/)Heliamphora uncinata, H. ciliata and H. huberi are described as species new to science and illustrated. They are compared with their putative relatives, ecological notes are included and an identification list for all specimens examined is appended. The petaloid tepals of H. uncinata bear nectaries in the basal half of their adaxial surface and it shares this feature with H. exappendiculata. This is the first record of nuptial nectaries for the genus Heliamphora.
