Abstract

A new combination in Rutaceae is published: Megastigma conzattii, which was erroneously described as an Amyris, A. conzattii. The species is described, illustrated, and compared with M. skinnerii and M. chiangii, both species with similar morphological characteristics. A comparative table and an identification key of these species are included.
