In anticipation of my forthcoming revision of the 
South American species of Brunfelsia (Solanaceae) based 
on a doctoral dissertation at Harvard University (Plow- 
man, 1973), [ herewith offer the description of two previ- 
ously unrecognized species. 
I would like to express my thanks to the curators of the 
several herbaria who have graciously loaned specimens 
cited in this paper. Abbreviations of herbaria are taken 
from Index Herbariorum (I.anjouw and Stafleu, 1964). 
Special thanks are due also to Dr. Leslie Garay for 
checking the Latin descriptions and to Lynda Bates for 
preparing the line drawings which accompany the text.
