Abstract:
Magnolia vazquezii Cruz Duran & K. Vega (Magnoliaceae) is described as a new species from the state of Guerrero, Mexico. It has been collected only in cloud forest in the state of Guerrero and appears similar to M. schiedeana Schlechtendal, but differs in its red stipules, pubescent bracts, pubescent and longer peduncles, longer and different-shaped petals, and an oblong gynoecium with erect stigmas. The new taxon is illustrated and a dichotomous key distinguishes it from related taxa.
