Lobelia guerrerensis is a new species endemic to pine, pine-oak, and mixed
deciduous forests of the Sierra Madre del Sur in Guerrero, Mexico. Though c
ollected several times over the past 60 years, the specimens were consisten
tly misidentified as the narrow-leaved phase of L. laxiflora. Detailed phen
etic analyses, however, have showed them to be morphologically quite distin
ct. In addition, several new combinations needed for a forthcoming checklis
t of world Campanulaceae are published.
