Abstract

Two new species of Dilkea subgenus Dilkea (Passifloraceae) are described from Loreto, Peru. Dilkea hebes Feuillet, sp. nov., has leaves with elliptic to oblanceolate blades that are dull adaxially, and spherical fruits with thick walls; D. nitens Feuillet, sp. nov., has leaves with narrow–ovate blades that are shiny adaxially, and fruits with an apical cone and thin walls. Both species have been collected in Loreto (Peru). A key to the species of subgenus Dilkea is provided.
