Two new species of (Lamiaceae) from the dry forests of Dominican Republic.

We describe two new species of from the Antillean dry forests, belonging to SalviasectionUrbania. These species' names honor two Latin American botanists who have advanced our understanding either of the Dominican flora or the mint family (Lamiaceae). is found in the Sierra Martín García. It resembles but differs in having strigose stems, rhombic to trullate leaves with a cuneate, decurrent base, and larger flowers. inhabits the Sierra de Bahoruco. It resembles but differs in having strigose stems with retrorse trichomes and flowers disposed in the axils of the distal leaves. We provide descriptions, photographs, a distribution map and an identification key for the species of SalviasectionUrbania from the Domini-can Republic. Additionally, we sequenced three molecular markers (nrITS, L-F, and H-A) for the new taxa and other Dominican and Haitian species to investigate their phylogenetic relationships.
