Type: article

Abstract: Two new endemic species from Bolivia, Gomphrena vallegrandensis T. Ortuño & S. Lozada-Gobilard and Gomphrena palmariensis T. Ortuño, J. Gutiérrez. & Montesinos, are described and illustrated. The former only occurs in the native open natural grassland close to the Tucuman forest (Prov. Vallegrande), and the latter is restricted to the areas with rock outcrops in the subpuna close to the inter-Andean dry forest in the El Palmar Integrated Management Natural Area. A full description of these two new species, notes on their distribution, and a key for their identification are provided.
