Abstract

A new species and a new subspecies of Salvia, Salvia vazquezii and Salvia vazquezii subsp. tancitaroensis, from the Jalisco-Colima border and Michoacán, Mexico, respectively, are segregated from the S. gravida complex. They are described, illustrated and compared. A key to the three taxa and a translated and expanded circumscription of S. gravida are provided.

Resumen

Se segregan una nueva especie y una subespecie del complejo de Salvia gravida, Salvia vazquezii y Salvia vazquezii subsp. tancitaroensis, de los límites entre Jalisco y Colima, y Michoacán, respectivamente. Se describen, ilustran y comparan. Se incluye una clave para la separación de los tres taxa y una circunscripción traducida y expandida de S. gravida.
