Abstract
Chaetolepis is a small genus composed of 11 species of shrubs and herbs mostly from Neotropical mountainous areas. As a product of the revision of the Melastomataceae family for the project on Bogotá’s flora, we described a new species of the genus including illustrations and mapping, and we established its differences with morphologically close species.
