54570D38FFFCFF932685F99021ABB992.taxon	discussion	The checklist of Leguminosae of Boyacá includes 265 species (including five treated as sp., and six as aff. or cf.). The CPLC (2016) did not include specimens named to genus only, nor sp. affs., nor cfs. Taking this into account, excluding a total of 11 species listed by us with provisional identifications, there is an increase of 61 (32 %) legume species for the department since publication of the CPLC (2016). Fourteen species originally recorded for Boyacá are not accepted by us here (excluded species are given at the end of the legume checklist). Fifty-seven of the 265 species are not yet confirmed as category 1 names (i. e., their inclusion in the Boyacá list is tentative); of these, 37 species are category 2 confidence rating and 20 are category 3. When comparing our list with the Boyacá legumes recorded in the CPLC we have added 34 new genus records, of which 12 are introduced genera; 12 genera were previously recorded for Colombia in the CPLC but not for Boyacá, and ten are genera recorded for Boyacá in Balcázar-Vargas et al. ’ s (2000) list, but not in the CPLC (Table 2). We include Clitoria as a new legume genus record for Boyacá based on our collection of C. javitensis in 2018. Collections of fruiting material of the two Colombian legume endemic genera Brachycylix and Orphanodendron were also a highlight of our fieldwork.	en	Lucas, Eve J., Haigh, Anna L., Castellanos, Cesar, Aguilar-Cano, José, Biggs, Nicola, Castellanos, Carolina C., Fabriani, Federico, Frisby, Susan, García, Lina, Klitgård, Bente B., Morales-Puentes, Maria Eugenia, Parra-O, Carlos, Perezescobar, Oscar, Zuluaga, Alejandro, Lewis, Gwilym P.

54570D38FFF3FF9C2685FF2E263CBFCC.taxon	discussion	The checklist of Araceae of Boyacá includes 87 species, an increase of 50 (135 % for the department since the publication of the CPLC (2016). Seven species originally recorded for Boyacá are not accepted by us here (excluded species). Fifteen of the 87 species are not yet confirmed as category 1 names (inclusion is currently tentative). Adelonema is a new genus record for Boyacá from our 2018 field work. Including Adelonema, eight genera have been added for Boyacá when compared to the CLPC, one of which is introduced (Table 2). The genus Dieffenbachia is particularly difficult to identify from herbarium specimens, so all determinations of this genus (except for Dieffenbachia seguine, the most widespread species) are tentative. This genus needs revising in Colombia.	en	Lucas, Eve J., Haigh, Anna L., Castellanos, Cesar, Aguilar-Cano, José, Biggs, Nicola, Castellanos, Carolina C., Fabriani, Federico, Frisby, Susan, García, Lina, Klitgård, Bente B., Morales-Puentes, Maria Eugenia, Parra-O, Carlos, Perezescobar, Oscar, Zuluaga, Alejandro, Lewis, Gwilym P.

54570D38FFF3FF9C2685FBB12173BB6F.taxon	discussion	The checklist of Myrtaceae of Boyacá includes 24 species; this represents an increase of 8 species (35 %) for the department since the CPLC (2016). Three further genera, Acca, Corymbia and Eucalyptus have been recorded, although these are all introduced taxa (Table 2). Six new native species have been added: Eugenia coffeifolia, E. linaresii, E. punicifolia, Myrcia bracteata, M. paivae and Myrcianthes myrsinoides. Of these supplements, the only species added from field collections is Eugenia coffeifolia, collected sterile during the project expedition. Until now, this distinctive species, widespread in Amazon forest has only been registered in northwestern South America by Ecuadorian specimens deposited at the Field Museum herbarium.	en	Lucas, Eve J., Haigh, Anna L., Castellanos, Cesar, Aguilar-Cano, José, Biggs, Nicola, Castellanos, Carolina C., Fabriani, Federico, Frisby, Susan, García, Lina, Klitgård, Bente B., Morales-Puentes, Maria Eugenia, Parra-O, Carlos, Perezescobar, Oscar, Zuluaga, Alejandro, Lewis, Gwilym P.

54570D38FFF3FF992685F8CF27BCBAF0.taxon	discussion	This key is largely based on features of taxa occurring in Boyacá and will not necessarily work for specimens and species of a genus collected outside the department or country. Genera in the checklist are arranged alphabetically. For recent nomenclatural updates in some genera see the remarks section. Cultivated taxa are included in the key and indicated by an asterisk. For terminology on leaf morphology, see Figure 2.	en	Lucas, Eve J., Haigh, Anna L., Castellanos, Cesar, Aguilar-Cano, José, Biggs, Nicola, Castellanos, Carolina C., Fabriani, Federico, Frisby, Susan, García, Lina, Klitgård, Bente B., Morales-Puentes, Maria Eugenia, Parra-O, Carlos, Perezescobar, Oscar, Zuluaga, Alejandro, Lewis, Gwilym P.

54570D38FFE6FF8B2685FD6C2712BC67.taxon	discussion	This key has been partly adapted from Mayo, Bogner and Boyce (1997). It includes all genera from Colombia, as those that are not currently recorded from Boyacá (marked with *) are either widely introduced or occur in biogeographic areas that extend into Boyacá and are therefore highly likely to occur there. Genera in the checklist are arranged alphabetically.	en	Lucas, Eve J., Haigh, Anna L., Castellanos, Cesar, Aguilar-Cano, José, Biggs, Nicola, Castellanos, Carolina C., Fabriani, Federico, Frisby, Susan, García, Lina, Klitgård, Bente B., Morales-Puentes, Maria Eugenia, Parra-O, Carlos, Perezescobar, Oscar, Zuluaga, Alejandro, Lewis, Gwilym P.
