Remarks
Marsdenia magallanesiana ... is compared with M. edulis S. Watson and M. callosa Juárez-Jaimes & W. D. Stevens, which are the morphologically most similar species to it. The three species grow in separate areas of the tropical deciduous forest of the Pacific slopes of Mexico. However, the new species is distinguished by the absence of a fleshy callus on the corolla sinus lobes, its corona lobes suborbicular with margins not thickened, and its style appendage subconic with a short, slightly divided apex. (vide abstract). Etimology: El epíteto específico se dedica a Arturo Solís Magallanes, maestro del Centro Universitario, Costa Sur de la Universidad de Guadalajara, por su importante contribución al conocimiento de la Flora de la Estación de Biología Chamela de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
