“…Morales (2007) published Connarus vulcanicus apart from C. costaricensis based on the fruits’ internal surface indumentum (puberulent vs. tomentose, respectively). However, there seems to be a gradient of continuous variation related to this character as the fruits in the specimens cited here vary from subglabrous to densely tomentose.…”

“…Flowers not seen, pedicels 1-2 mm long; buds ca. 2 × 1.7 mm, elliptic; sepals (few persistent on fruits) slightly basally connate, outer surfaces sparsely sericeous, indumentum brown, inner surfaces subglabrous, pubescent only at apex; petals (Morales, 2007) 2.5-2.8 mm long. Fruits (2-)2.3-3 × (1.4-)1.6-2 cm, obovate, rarely semi-orbicular, indehiscent side linear or sigmoid, pericarps ca.…”

“…This species can be confused with C. brachybotryosus and C. lambertii, but differs from the former by the adaxially prominent midvein (vs. adaxially flat), and from the latter by the stipe 5-10 mm long (vs. 2-3 mm long). Morales (2007) published Connarus vulcanicus apart from C. costaricensis based on the fruits' internal surface indumentum (puberulent vs. tomentose, respectively).

The pantropical genus Connarus is the largest within Connaraceae and comprises ca. 80 species, most of which occur in the Neotropics. The genus is potentially economically important as several taxa produce metabolites of medicinal interest. Morphologically, Connarus differs from other members of the family mainly by the punctate perianth, the single carpel and follicular and relatively broader fruits than in the other genera. In the decades after the publication of the Flora Neotropica monograph of Connaraceae, new botanical collections have become available, especially in American herbaria, allowing identification of overlooked characters and, hence, redefinition of species circumscriptions. In addition, a significant number of typifications were outdated and taxonomic novelties have recently been proposed – all elements that justify a revisional work. After intensive examination of herbarium specimens and field expeditions, the present study recognizes 57 species, 2 varieties and 2 subspecies of Connarus in the Neotropics; about 100 specific names were evaluated, 39 of which are here considered heterotypic synonyms, 11 of them are new synonyms. The distribution of Neotropical Connarus ranges from south Mexico to south Brazil and, although most species occur in dense wet forests, especially in the Amazonia and Atlantic Forest, some are dispersed in savannas from Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela, in Brazilian coastal vegetations or in montane formations; wide distributions are commonly seen in wet forests from Central America to northern South America, while restricted occurrences or endemism are mainly observed in the Atlantic Forest, Peru and Venezuela. Complete morphological descriptions of the species of Neotropical Connarus are provided here, as well as illustrative images, identification keys, and detailed discussions of their taxonomy, nomenclature, distribution and habitat.

“…are also documented in Morales (2003c), Morales (2005, 2009) and Morales and Alfaro (2003). In total, five species ( Catopsis werckleana , Tillandsia streptophylla , Tillandsia rhomboidea , Tillandsia guatemalensis , Werauhia anitana ) had to be added and two ( Tillandsia acostae , Guzmania mitis ) were excluded based on our revision of the herbarium material.…”

An updated inventory of the Bromeliaceae for Costa Rica is presented including citations of representative specimens for each species. The family comprises 18 genera and 198 species in Costa Rica, 32 species being endemic to the country. Additional 36 species are endemic to Costa Rica and Panama. Only 4 of the 8 bromeliad subfamilies occur in Costa Rica, with a strong predominance of Tillandsioideae (7 genera/150 spp.; 75.7% of all bromeliad species in Costa Rica). 124 species (62.6%) grow exclusively epiphytic, additional 59 spp. (29.8%) are facultative epiphytes. The most diverse genus is Werauhia, with 59 species (29.8% of the Costa Rican bromeliad flora), followed by Tillandsia with 40 species (20.2%) and Guzmania with 28 spp. (8.6%).
