800C87C66068FF9AC6C7CA84FA2B9FB9.taxon	description	Herbs, subshrubs or shrubs, sometimes hemiepiphytic or epiphytic, with white latex on their vegetative and reproductive organs. Stems often fleshy, glabrous or covered with different types of indumentum formed by uniseriate, uni- to multicelular, eglandular trichomes. Leaves alternate, distichous or spirally arranged, exstipulate, sessile or more often petiolate; blade usually entire and with slightly asymmetrical base, sometimes deeply divided or pinnately compound, margin entire, subentire, crenate, toothed, serrate, or fimbriate, each marginal projection usually ending in a hydathode; hydathodes on the distal flanks of the marginal sinuses are also frequent; venation pinnate, secondary and tertiary veins usually conspicuous, intramarginal vein sometimes present. Flowers solitary, axillary to the most distal leaves, in some species crowded and with highly reduced subtending leaves forming racemose or corymbose distal portions. Peduncle ebracteolate or with (1) 2 (3) minute bracteoles to 20 × 1.2 mm, these subulate, capitate, finger-like, narrowoblong or filiform, sometimes deciduous. Hypanthium obconic, globose, subglobose or narrowly cylindric. Calyx lobes five, ascending, patent or reflexed, margin entire, serrulate, toothed or fimbriate; corolla bilateral, formed by two dorsal lobes, two lateral lobes and an odd, navicular ventral lobe, the dorsal and lateral lobes often falcate and larger than the ventral one; outer surface of the corolla green frequently with purple tints, or less often yellow and red, tube often inflated at the base and / or the throat. Synandrium tubular, formed by five antesepalous stamens completely fused to each other, variously curved and exserted through the two dorsal lobes of the corolla; filament tube glabrous to variously pubescent. Anthers five, dithecal, tetrasporangiate, introrse, totally fused together forming a tube distally dilated, dorsal anther usually longer than the others, apex of the ventral anthers in some species with a tuft of white or yellowish trichomes during pre-anthesis. Ovary inferior, bicarpellate, with numerous ovules, placentation axile. Fruits globose, subglobose, oblate or cylindric berries, often inflated and with two large air chambers inside, white, green, blue or pink, crowned by the persistent lobes of the calyx; placentas two, massive. Seeds numerous (> 100) per berry, to 1.4 × 1 mm, oblate to ellipsoid, often slightly curved; seed coat markedly reticulate.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66071FF86C6C7CDA6FB619D4B.taxon	distribution	Distribution, ecology and conservation status: — Burmeistera antioquensis is known only from understory strata of cloud forests and páramo patches of the Central Cordillera in Antioquia, at elevations between 1800 and 3100 m. These forests are dominated by Brunellia trianae Cuatrec. (Brunelliaceae), Drimys granadensis L. f. (Winteraceae), Quercus humboldtii Bonpl. (Fagaceae) and Weinmannia sp. (Cunoniaceae). The páramos and high-Andean forests around Sonsón have been sites of great interest to botanical explorers since the mid eighteenth century, resulting in a considerable number of newly described plant taxa from the region. The species is locally rare and threatened due to habitat loss, as its habitat is being rapidly transformed for agriculture and pasture activities. Following the IUCN´s (2022) criteria [B 1 (EOO) and B 2 (AOO), conditions (a) and (b), and C 2 (a) (i)], B. antioquensis qualifies as Critically Endangered.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C6607BFF88C6C7CACEFE309BCF.taxon	distribution	Distribution, ecology and conservation status: — Burmeistera ceratocarpa occurs in Colombia and Ecuador. In Colombia, it occurs in cloud, sub-Andean to high-Andean forests, at elevations between 700 and 3000 m, in the Western and Central cordilleras, in the departments of Antioquia, Cauca, Córdoba, Huila, Nariño, Putumayo, Quindío and Valle del Cauca. Following the IUCN (2022) Guidelines, it is highly likely that this species is not threatened.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia. Phytotaxa 615 (1): 1-113, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.615.1.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.615.1.1
800C87C6607BFF88C6C7CACEFE309BCF.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Burmeistera ceratocarpa is similar to B. smaragdi, B. serraniaguae and B. succulenta, from which it differs by the presence of an intramarginal vein of the leaf blade, the subtending leaves reduced to 3 – 6 × 2 – 3 cm, and the ventral anthers barbate during preanthesis (versus leaves with a discontinuous intramarginal vein, subtending leaves not reduced, and ventral anthers ebarbate all the way through in the remaining three species). There are several duplicates of the original material of Burmeistera ceratocarpa. The author did not specify which one was used by him for the original description. Therefore, the specimen from NY [NY 000467990] is here chosen as the lectotype, as it is the most complete and has flowers and fruits in formation. Burmeistera dichlora was described by Wimmer (1931) based on the specimen Lehmann 1074, which has several at F, GH, K, and NY. The sheet chosen as the lectotype is the most complete, and has a detailed handwritten description made by the collector, and an annotation by the name´s author. In addition, Wimmer (1931) based the description of Burmeistera pastoralis var. glabrifolia on two specimens (Lehmann 162 and André 2758) without designating either as the holotype. The specimen Lehmann 162 deposited at K [K 000250866] is the most complete one; thus, it is here chosen as the lectotype. A detailed examination of the protologues and the type specimens of Burmeistera carnosa, B. dichlora, B. pastoralis, B. pastoralis var. glabrifolia, and B. carnosa var. metastasia shows that the diagnostic traits of these five entities fall within the natural variation of B. ceratocarpa. Furthermore, the type specimens were collected in nearby localities in the departments of Cauca and Valle del Cauca. Thus, the former five names are here subordinated to the synonymy of B. ceratocarpa.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66046FFB1C6C7CFAEFD659F96.taxon	distribution	Distribution, ecology and conservation status: — Burmeistera cylindrocarpa has been collected in Colombia only in the Western Cordillera, in the department of Valle del Cauca. It is locally rare. Following the IUCN (2022) Guidelines, this species qualifies for the Near Threatened (NT) category.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66046FFB1C6C7CFAEFD659F96.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Burmeistera cylindrocarpa is similar to B. marginata, from which it differs by the leaf blades oblong to ovate, puberulous above, with margin subentire to irregularly toothed especially on the distal half, with 1 to 3 irregular teeth per centimeter; the peduncle 5 – 8 cm long, glabrescent; the calyx lobes 2 – 3 mm wide; and the corolla tube 1 – 1.2 cm long (versus leaf blades elliptic to lanceolate, glabrescent above, with margin thoroughly finely toothed, with 5 to 8 sharp teeth per centimeter, these regular in size and distribution; peduncle 8 – 10 cm long, glabrous; calyx lobes 0.5 – 1.5 mm wide; and corolla tube 0.8 – 1.0 cm long in B. marginata). There are three sheets of the type collection Lehmann 192, of which the specimen deposited at G is here designated as lectotype G [G 00236660], as it the most complete and has a handwritten identification made by Zahlbruckner in December 2012. Lammers (2007) added Burmeistera cylindrocarpa var. candida E. Wimm. to the synonymy of B. cyclostigmata. However, the type specimen of the former unequivocally exhibits a closer morphological resemblance with B. cylindrocarpa; thus, it is here moved to its synonymy.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66057FFAFC6C7CFAEFF5F923B.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Burmeistera kalbreyeri is similar to B. aeribacca (see distinctive traits under the latter). A detailed examination of the protologues and the type specimens of Burmeistera kalbreyeri and B. montipomum shows that the diferences between these two entities, regarding the shape of the leaf blade and the size of the fruit, are negligible. Furthermore, the type specimens were collected in nearby localities in the department of Antioquia. Thus, the latter name is here subordinated to the synonymy of the former. Burmeistera kalbreyeri was described by Wimmer (1932), based on the specimen Kalbreyer 1452, with two sheets housed at B and K. Given that the author did not designate any of them as the holotype, the sheet deposited at K ([K 000250828]) is here chosen as the lectotype, as it is the only original material left. Similarly, Wimmer (1943) described Burmeistera montipomum based on two sheets deposited in en US y W, without designating a holotype. Thus, the sheet US [US 00146947] is here chosen as the lectotype, as it is the most complete one.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C6605BFFABC6C7CE1EFB509B33.taxon	distribution	Distribution, ecology and conservation status: — Burmeistera luteynii is restricted to the Western Cordillera in the departments of Antioquia and the Caldas / Risaralda border. This species reaches the highest elevation among the Burmeistera species of Colombia, in páramos between 3300 – 3700 m dominated by Blechnum buchtienii Rosenst. (Blechnaceae), Bomarea lehmannii Baker (Alstroemeriaceae), Desfontainia sp. (Columelliaceae), and the bromeliads Guzmania pearcei (Baker) L. B. Sm., G. confinis L. B. Sm. G. squarrosa (Mez & Sodiro) L. B. Sm. & Pittendr., and Puya cryptantha Cuatrec. This belt of vegetation corresponds to the lower limits of “ frailejonales ” dominated mainly by Espeletia spp. (Asteraceae). Following the IUCN´s (2022) criteria [B 1 (EOO) and B 2 (AOO), conditions (a) and (b), and C 2 (a) (i)], B. luteynii qualifies as Critically Endangered.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C6605BFFABC6C7CE1EFB509B33.taxon	discussion	Notes: — The distinguishing characters of Burmeistera luteynii are the right angle formed between the lanceolate lobes of the corolla and the tube, and the white berries. Corollas with straight (not falcate) lanceolate lobes forming an angle of 90 ° with respect to the tube are also found in B. rostrata, B. salicifolia, B. villosa, and B. xerampelina. However, it differs by the leaf blade puberulous above; the peduncle, sparsely puberulous, up to 4.6 cm long; the calyx lobes basally contiguous; and the corolla pink to pale red, often suffused with yellow. (versus the leaf blade glabrous or villous above; the peduncle glabrous, densely villous, or if sparsely puberulous,> 6 cm long; the calyx lobes basally spaced by sinuses 1.0 – 1.4 mm wide; and the corolla green often suffused with purple in the remaining four species. Although this group of five species is primarily found in the Western Cordillera, B. luteynii, from Antioquia and Caldas / Risaralda border, is allopatric with respect to the other species, found in Chocó, Nariño, Putumayo and Valle del Cauca. The collection F. Pennell 10513 (NY) from the Cerro Tatamá (Caldas) was identified as Burmeistera tomentosula by Wimmer (1935, 1943), who apparently did not see the type specimen of this species. I examined a photo of the type and additional collections of B. tomentosula and note that one of the most conspicuous diagnostic characters of this species is the presence of a swollen peduncle, a feature lacking in the specimen Pennell 10513. This feature, along with other characters in the size, pubescence, and venation of the leaves, and the shape of the corolla, indicates that this specimen belongs to B. luteynii.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

Burmeistera marginata was described based on a colection by J. J. Triana (“ Crescit in vicinitate pagi Consota in monte Quindiu ”). There are two sheets that correspond to the original description, and collected in the cited locality, one with Triana´s number 1585 (deposited at P), and a second one with the number 3069.1 / 8. Thus, the sheet deposited at P [P 00408889] is here chosen as the lectotype (pro parte), because it is the most complete, and has more handwritten information on the label. However, it is likely that the loose leaf on the lower portion of the sheet does not correspond to B. marginata.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C6605CFFA9C6C7C90EFDEE99BB.taxon	discussion	Notes: — The original description of Burmeistera microphylla was based on a single specimen (C. Wercklé 11600), deposited at CR; thus, it corresponds to the holotype. A second specimen, deposited at US, corresponds to an isotype, and not to the holotype, as it is reported in the Jstor Plants platform. The small-sized leaves of Burmeistera microphylla are superficially similar to those of B. luteynii. However, various traits of B. microphylla indicate a close similarity with B. cyclostigmata, B. cylindrocarpa, and B. marginata, from which it differs by the petiole 3 – 8 mm long; the leaf blade 1.8 – 3.6 (– 6.0) cm long, with 5 to 7 secondary veins per side, but lacking an intramarginal vein; the peduncle 2 – 5 cm long; the dorsal lobes of the corolla 7 – 8 mm long; the synandrium exserted up to 8 mm; and the berries oblate, 6 – 8 × 9 – 10 mm (versus the petiole (6 –) 10 – 30 (40) mm long; the leaf blade> 6 cm long, with 9 to 20 secondary veins per side and an intramarginal vein; the peduncle 5 – 10 cm long; the dorsal lobes of the corolla 10 – 17 mm long; the synandrium exserted up to 2.4 cm; and the berries cylindric to narrowly cylindric, 10 – 20 × 3 – 10 mm in the remaining species).	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C6605EFFD7C6C7CC86FD6A9B87.taxon	distribution	Distribution, ecology and conservation status: — Burmeistera minutiflora is endemic to a very narrow area in the department of Antioquia, where it has been collected in cloud, high-Andean forests and superhumid páramos and subpáramo remnants of the Western Cordillera between 2800 and 3550 m. Following the IUCN´s (2022) criteria [B 1 (EOO) and B 2 (AOO), conditions (a) and (b), and C 2 (a) (i)], B. minutiflora qualifies as Critically Endangered, mainly due to the extremely low number of flowers per individual, the narrow distribution of the species in fragile, severely fragmented and disturbed subparámo and páramo habitat.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C6605EFFD7C6C7CC86FD6A9B87.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Burmeistera minutiflora is easily distinguished by the bicolor (bright red and yellow), small corollas (<1.1 cm long), the smallest in the genus. The flowers of Burmeistera minutiflora are likely entomophilous, as the small, reddish / yellow corollas makes unlikely bat or hummingbird visits. Overall, the species is similar to B. antioquensis, but the corolla alone is similar to that of B. kirkbridei Wilbur, from Panamá. However, the latter species has purple corollas tipped with pink, and its ventral anthers are totally ebarbate.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66020FFD5C6C7CED2FBA29DF3.taxon	distribution	Distribution, ecology and conservation status: — Burmeistera multiflora is found in Colombia and Ecuador. In Colombia it occurs primarily in cloud forests at elevations between the sea level and 2900 m in the Western Cordillera and edges of wetforests of the Pacific region, in the departments of Chocó, Nariño, Risaralda and Valle del Cauca, plus two isolated localities in the Central Cordillera, in the department of Cauca. Following the IUCN (2022) Guidelines, it is highly likely that this species is not threatened.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66020FFD5C6C7CED2FBA29DF3.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Burmeistera multiflora is similar to B. fistulosa (see distinctive traits under the latter). Burmeistera multiflora was described based on the following three syntipes: Ecuador: “ Quito, Nanegal (l. Karsten in Herb, Vindob.); Andes Quitensis (Jameson no. 542, in Herb. Paris); in silvis montis Corozón, 1600 ‒ 2000 m. s. m. (Sodiro no. 91 / 29, in Herb. Berolin) ”. Only one of them (Jameson 542, deposited at P [P 00408891; http: // mediaphoto. mnhn. fr / media / 1441351980662 OdS 50 QSIwDLenx 5 o) was located. This specimen is here designated as the lectotype, as it has the distinctive vegetative and reproductive traits of the species, and agrees with the protologue description. There is a fourth collection (“ circa Canzacoto, 1600 ‒ 2000 m, Sodiro 91 / 27 ”), deposited at P [P 00408893], which likely corresponds to a duplicate of the specimen Sodiro 91 / 29. Although this additional collection corresponds to B. multiflora, its number and locality do not correspond exactly with the protologue, which precludes its status as a syntype. In the original description of Burmeistera multiflora, Zahlbruckner (1915) described the presence of subulate bracts at the base of the peduncle. A detailed examination of the type collection clearly demonstrates that the peduncle is ebracteolate, and that the so-called bracts correspond to the extremely reduced, bracteiform leaves that subtend the flowers, and that occur in species with corymbiform inflorescences. After a careful examination of the type specimen and the original description of Burmeistera armadana, no differences were detected that would allow treating it as different from B. multiflora. Therefore, it is reduced to the synonymy of the latter. The type locality of B. armadana (“ prope Armada ”, recorded in the type specimen E. André et al. 1521), corresponds to the “ quebrada ” and the station known as “ La Armada ”, in the municipality of Ricaurte (Nariño).	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66023FFD3C6C7CB12FE3A9BCF.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Burmeistera mutisiana is similar to B. fuchsioides (see distinctive traits under the latter). The protologue of the basionym Lobelia mutisiana, Kunth (1820) did not explicitly indicate a specimen or illustration as the original material of the species. Thus, the specimen housed in the Humbold and Bonpland herbarium in P [P 00671028] is here designated as the neotype. This specimen consistently represents the traits mentioned in the protologue, and has an original, handwritten identification “ Lobelia mutisiana ” with the number “ 13 ”, which corresponds to the species number in Kunth´s (1820) treatment. In the protologue, Kunth (1820) mentioned that Burmeistera mutisiana is similar to Lobelia glabrata (= Burmeistera glabrata). The illustration 28 published in the Flora de la Real Expedición Botánica al Nuevo Reino de Granada (Díaz 1985) inequivocally corresponds to Burmeistera (Lobelia) mutisiana, but it was misidentified as B. pennellii Gleason. A careful cross-comparison of the protologue of B. pennellii versus the aforementioned illustration of B. mutisiana is conclusive in that the illustration corresponds to the latter.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C6602AFFDCC6C7CCEAFADB9C4F.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Burmeistera pomifera is closely related to B. tomentosula, from which it differs by the stems glabrous except for the hirtellous longitudinal crests; the petiole 1.0 – 2.6 cm long; the peduncle 4 – 10 (– 14) cm long, the calyx lobes glabrescent; the corolla glabrescent or sparsely hirtellous; the ventral anthers barbate at preanthesis; and the berries glabrescent (versus the stems puberulous; the petiole (1.5 –) 2.0 – 6.0 cm long; the peduncle 3.0 – 5.5 cm long; the calyx lobes puberulous; the corolla densely puberulous; the ventral anthers ebarbate at preanthesis; and the berries puberulous in B. tomentosula). After a detailed study of the protologues and the original material of Burmeistera connivens, B. luteola and B. curviandra, no differential traits were found that allow treating these entities as different from B. pomifera. Rather, it is evident the concurrence of their descriptions, their characters and the geographical proximity of their type localities. Thus, they are here reduced to the synonymy of B. pomifera.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

Wimmer (1935) described Burmeistera puberula based on two specimens deposited in NY and US, without designating a holotype. The specimen deposited at US [US 00146952] is here designated as the lectotype, because it has a dissected flower and a fully formed fruit.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

Following the IUCN´s (2022) criteria [B 1 (EOO) and B 2 (AOO), conditions (a) and (b), and C 2 (a) (i)], this species qualifies as Critically Endangered.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C6602EFFC7C6C7CFAEFD9A9AEF.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Burmeistera reclinata belongs to the group of species with narrow, glabrous leaves with glaucescent lower surface. It is similar to B. crassifolia (see distinctive traits under the latter). Burmeistera maculata E. Wimm. (Wimmer 1943: 160) was described as a new species, based on F. Pennell 4440, collected in “ Colombia: Dept. Bolivar, im Walde bei Antizales, 1700 ‒ 2000 m ”, on February 25 – 26, 1918. The leaves of the holotype, deposited at NY are similar to those found in B. reclinata and the remaining species with glaucescent leaves. Unfortunately, no isotypes were located and the only flower in the specimen is severely fragmented to a small piece of the corolla; the calyx and the fruits, crucial to provide diagnostic and differential traits within Burmeistera, were not preserved. Thus, the identity of B. maculata is uncertain, as it could correspond to any of the species with glaucescent leaves, and it will remain as a species with “ non satis notae ”, as it was originally published by Wimmer (1943).	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66036FFCDC6C7C80AFB179EC3.taxon	distribution	Distribution, ecology and conservation status: — Burmeistera succulenta is widespread from Costa Rica to Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. In Colombia, it has been collected in both flanks of the Western and the Central cordilleras, in the departments of Antioquia, Caldas, Chocó, Nariño, Quindío, Risaralda, Tolima and Valle del Cauca, at elevations between 600 and 2780 m. Following the IUCN (2022) Guidelines, it is highly likely that this species is not threatened.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66036FFCDC6C7C80AFB179EC3.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Burmeistera succulenta is similar to B. serraniaguae (see distinctive traits under the latter). The original description of Burmeistera succulenta is based on a specimen collected by J. J. Triana in the locality “ El Roble ”, at 2000 m, probably in the current department of Quindío. There are three duplicates (deposited at BM, COL and P) that correspond to B. succulenta and that have original labels with this specific locality. Thus, it is necessary to formally designate a lectotype, despite the fact that the P sheet was noted as the holotype in the jstor portal [http: // plants. jstor. org / stable / viewer / 10.5555 / al. ap. specimen. p 00408903]. The sheet deposited at BM [BM 000947548] is here chosen as the lectotype, given that it is the most complete one. Wimmer (1931) described Burmeistera succulenta var. latisepala based on the specimen R. Spruce 5119, of which there are two sheets at K. The most complete sheet (K 000250836) is chosen here as the lectotype. Burmeistera succulenta var. meiophylla was described based on three syntypes: Venezuela: Colonia Tovar, s. f. (fl, fr), H. Karsten s. n. (B, destructed, COL [COL 000266968], JE [JE 00000628]); Colombia: Popayán, “ In Andibus Occid. 1300 ‒ 1600 m, Lehmann 5990 (K); y Ecuador: Chimborazo, “ ad flumen Río Chasnar, R. Spruce 6212 (K, W). Two of these sheets (H. Karsten s. n., deposited at COL and JE) are currently available. The sheet housed at COL is here chosen as the lectotype because it is the most complete one. The sheet Karsten s. n. deposited at JE appears misidentified as B. succulenta var. microphylla in jstor [http: // plants. jstor. org / stable / viewer / 10.5555 / al. ap. specimen. je 00000628].	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C6603CFFC9C6C7CA34FEA69C07.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Burmeistera tomentosula is similar to B. pomifera (see distinctive traits under the latter). A careful comparison of the type specimens and the original descriptions of Burmeistera tomentosula and B. tambensis shows strong correspondence of all their diagnostic traits. Furthermore, they occupy the same area in the Western and the Central cordilleras. Thus, the latter is here reduced to the synonymy.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66001FFF6C6C7CCA2FE9B9DD7.taxon	distribution	Distribution, ecology and conservation status: — Burmeistera villosa is known only from the type collection, from the Western Cordillera of Colombia (Serranía de Los Paraguas) in the Chocó / Valle del Cauca border region. The Serranía de Los Paraguas is an Andean massif with 12 Burmeistera species that grow sympatrically along with B. villosa, including B. crassifolia, B. cyclostigmata, B. fuchsioides, B. fuscoapicata, B. multiflora, B. nigropilosa, B. obtusifolia, B. pomifera, B. salicifolia, B. serraniaguae, B. variabilis and B. vulgaris. Following the IUCN´s (2022) criteria [B 1 (EOO) and B 2 (AOO), conditions (a) and (b), and C 2 (a) (i)], B. villosa qualifies as Critically Endangered, mainly due to the extremely low number of flowers per individual, and the narrow distribution of the species in fragile and threatened cloud forests of the region.	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.

800C87C66001FFF6C6C7CCA2FE9B9DD7.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Several species of Burmeistera (e. g., B. bullatifolia, B. fuchsioides, and B. nigropilosa and B. villosa) are densely vestured. However, none of them exhibit corollas with straight, narrowly triangular lobes, such as those found in B. villosa. The flowers of B. villosa resemble those of B. salicifolia and B. xerampelina. However, it differs by the stems, leaves and flowers densely villous; the leaf blade with 4 to 6 secondary veins per side; and the peduncle up to 6 cm long, densely villous (versus the stems, leaves and flowers glabrous or sparsely puberulous; the leaf blade with 6 to 20 secondary veins per side; and the peduncle 6 – 16 cm long, glabrous or very sparsely puberulous in the remaining two species).	en	González, Favio (2023): Taxonomic revision of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae-Lobelioideae) in Colombia.
