Abstract
Three new Jaltomata species from the department of Ancash, Peru, are descri bed and illustrated. The three species are distinguished from others in the genus by features of the flowers, hairs, and leaves. Fruits of Jaltomata c ajacayensis S. Leiva & Mione are gathered for consumption. Jaltomata lomana Mione & S. Leiva is known only from a single fog-dependent plant community , a lomas formation. Jaltomata yungayensis Mione & S. Leiva is widely distr ibuted at high elevations.
