Abstract

As part of our study of the Acanthaceae of Costa Rica, we place Ruellia barbillana and R. metallica in synonymy with R. terminalis. We discuss species limits of R. terminalis and provide a key that distinguishes it from close relatives including R. grantii, R. oaxacana, and R. phyllocalyx. Ruellia puri is placed into synonymy with R. jussieuoides, and R. standleyi is synonymized with R. ochroleuca. Disjunct distributions characterize R. terminalis, R. jussieuoides, and R. ochroleuca, although most extreme in R. ochroleuca. New lectotypifications are provided for Arrhostoxylum achimeniflorum and Lychniothyrsus ochroleucus.
