Abstract
(Clusiaceae) is described using an integrative taxonomy approach. Field observations, discriminant analyses of morphological characters and phylogenetic inference based on molecular data led to the recognition of a new species of tree. This new taxon is distinct for having broadly obovate leaves, white petals, bright yellow flower resin and relatively large fruits. is known from the foothills and valleys of the Venezuelan Andes and is here assessed using IUCN criteria as Vulnerable.
Se describe (Clusiaceae) usando métodos de taxonomía integrativa. Observaciones de campo, análisis discriminante de caracteres morfológicos y reconstrucciones filogenéticas basadas en datos moleculares permitieron reconocer esta nueva especie de árbol. El nuevo taxón se diferencia por sus hojas anchamente obovadas, pétalos blancos, resina floral amarilla brillante, y frutos relativamente grandes. se conoce del piedemonte y valles de los Andes de Venezuela y siguiendo los criterios de evaluación de la UICN se estima que se encuentra en estado Vulnerable.
