New species of Paullinia (Sapindaceae) from continental tropical America

Abstract

Six new species are described in the large Neotropical genus Paullinia (Sapindaceae), P. cidii, P. decorticans, P. fruticosa, P. hondurensis; P. martinellii and P. wurdackii. In addition, they are illustrated and contrasted to the morphologically most similar species currently known. The new species were discovered while working on a forthcoming revision of the genus.
