Cuphea luteola is described from cerrado vegetation in Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, eastern Bolivia. It is assigned to section Euandra subsectio n Oidemation and is distinguished by yellow flowers, linear uninerved leave s, and the inner surface of the floral tube pilose and without vesicles.
