Abstract :

Se estudió la variación morfológica en estructuras vegetativas y reproductivas de Bauhinia mollis (var. mollis y var. notophila) y de B. argentinensis (var. argentinensis y var. megasiphon). Este estudio morfológico detallado permitió identificar correctamente ejemplares de herbario y ampliar la distribución geográfica de los taxones. Se establecen nuevas citas: B. mollis var. mollis para Argentina y B. argentinensis var. argentinensis y B. argentinensis var. megasiphon para Bolivia, esta última considerada endémica de Argentina. Se designaron lectotipos para Bauhinia mollis, B. mollis var. guaranitica y B. appendiculata. Palabras clave. Argentina; Bauhinia; Bolivia; morfología; nuevos registros. The morphological variation in vegetative and reproductive structures of Bauhinia mollis (var. mollis and var. notophila) and B. argentinensis (var. argentinensis and var. megasiphon) were studied. This detailed morphological study enabled us to correctly identify herbarium specimens and expand the geographic distribution of the taxa. New records of B. mollis var. mollis for Argentina and B. argentinensis var. argentinensis and B. argentinensis var. megasiphon for Bolivia, the latter considered endemic to Argentina, are here confirmed. Lectotypes were designated for Bauhinia mollis, B. mollis var guaranitica and B. appendiculata. Keywords. Argentina; Bauhinia; Bolivia; morphology; new records.
