Abstract
Aristolochia morae, a new species from Colombia and Venezuela is described, illustrated and included in a key to identify and compare it with related species; its relationships with the species of the Orinoco plains as well as with other species from northeastern South America are discussed. Ecological notes, including a short comment about the Lepidoptera using the new species as a host plant, are provided. A. morae belongs to the subseries Hexandrae, previously described by the author.
