Abstract
Acanthosyris asipapote, a new species from the vicinity of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, is described and illustrated. It is most similar to A. paulo -alvinii Barroso, known only from the state of Bahia, Brazil, but diff ers by leaf characters, pilose filaments, and smaller seeds. A key to the five woody genera and nine species of Santalaceae in South America is provided. Cervantesia, Jodina, and Myoschilos are probably monotyp ic; Santalum (in South America) has a single species, and Acanthosyris has five species.
