Resumen:
Rovaeanthus (Rondeletieae, Rubiaceae) is a Mesoamerican endemic genus of
two species, characterized by a fleshy, pubescent ring at the corolla
mouth. Despite the molecular evidence, which suggested that Rovaeanthus
shares a most recent common ancestor with the rest of the tribe
Rondeletieae, it was treated as a synonym of Rogiera (Guettardeae), with
which it shares the pubescent ring at the corolla mouth. Although the
species circumscription of Rovaeanthus is clear, its recognition as a
separate genus is not yet widely accepted. An updated identification key
for the two species of Rovaeanthus, descriptions, distribution maps,
phenological data, conservation status, and illustrations are provided.
