Caldas: municipality of Samaná, vía entre El Congal, La Quiebra y Florencia, 5°36’11.3’’-75°00’59.4’’, 1373 m, 20 July 2020 (fl, fr.), <i>J.A. Orozco-A, J.A. Sierra-Giraldo 1130</i> (holotype: FAUC!; isotype: HUA barcodes [HUA0047616]!, [HUA0047615]).</p><p><b>Diagnosis:—</b> An <i>Allomaieta</i> species characterized by the combination of peltate leaves and flowers with petals 1.4–1.8 × 1.5–1.6 cm, white with hyaline stripes. <i>Allomaieta peltata</i> is similar to <i>A. melidae</i> and <i>A. strigosa</i> but differs from them by its peltate leaves (vs marginal petioles in <i>A. strigosa</i> and <i>A. melidae</i>), and white petals with hyaline stripes (vs. reddish-purple with violet stripes in <i>A. strigosa</i>, and light pink with violet stripes in <i>A. melidae</i>),</p><p><i>Shrub</i> 3–5 m tall. Stems, petioles and inflorescences covered by bulla-based trichomes ca. 1 mm long. <i>Internodes</i> 1.6–14.6 cm long, 2.6–3.9 mm diam., terete, nodes not swollen. <i>Leaves</i> opposite, anisophyllous, the smaller one up to 60% reduced, peltate, with the petiole attached 1.5–8 mm from the basal edge, petioles 1.1–5.6 cm long, 0.9–2.5 mm diam., terete; leaf blades, 5.1–23.8 × 4.2–12.1 cm, papyraceous, elliptic, ovate-elliptic or ovate, base rounded, apex acuminate or cuspidate, margin crenate and slightly revolute with elongated trichomes 0.5–1.1 mm long; venation acrodromous, with 3 pairs of lateral veins (included the inconspicuous marginal pair), 29–40 tertiary veins adjacent to the middle vein (inside the innermost pair), 2–9 mm apart; primary, secondary and tertiary veins raised on the abaxial surface and impressed in the adaxial surface; adaxial surface covered by elongated trichomes without enations ca. 0.5 mm long, smooth 0.5–1.8 mm long on the mid vein and in the insertion of petiole, the abaxial with primary and secondary veins covered by elongated trichomes 0.5–0.7 mm long, tertiary veins and surface pubescent with thin elongated trichomes of 0.2–1 mm long and short dark sessile gland trichomes ca. 0.02 mm long. <i>Inflorescences</i> 6–11.1 cm long, terminal, compound cyme with monochasial paracladia bearing 4–5 flowers, peduncle 13.2–34.4 mm long, rachis 29.2–72.3 long, first internode 12.4–28.3 mm long, first paracladia 40–73 mm long, 16–34 flowers for inflorescence; proximal bracts 2.5–2.7 × 0.3–0.4 mm, linear, covered by brown bulla-based trichomes; bracteoles 2-3 per flower, 2.9–6.2 × 0.3–0.4 mm, sessile, linear, covered by brown bulla-based trichomes, deciduous during anthesis. <i>Flowers</i> 5-merous, haplostemonous; pedicel ca. 1 mm long. <i>Hypanthium</i> ca. 4 mm long up to the torus, ca. 5 mm diam in the torus, obconical, covered by bulla-based adpressed trichomes 0.4–0.6 mm long. <i>Calyx</i> closed in bud, ca. 10 mm long, ca. 6 mm diameter, opening by 4–5 regular triangular-valves, deciduous in anthesis, internally glabrous, externally such as the hypanthium; relictual tube 0.4–0.6 mm long. <i>Petals</i> white with hyaline longitudinal lines at anthesis or occasionally pale pink with purple lines at anthesis, 14–18.4 × 12.4–16.2 mm, cuneiform, apex obcordate or emarginate, margin entire, glabrous. <i>Stamens</i> 5, isomorphic, antesepalous, surrounding the style on one side, causing a slight zygomorphy appearance in anthesis; filaments 3.5–5 × 0.3–0.7 mm, pale yellow; <i>anthers</i> 3.4–4 × ca. 1 mm, oblong, apically obtuse, yellow, pore ca. 0.3 mm wide, located in a ventral canal ca. 0.4 mm from the apex. pedoconnective absent, connective not extended below the thecae. <i>Ovary</i> 5-celled, totally inferior, apex glabrous, 1.4–2.5 × 2.2 mm in longitudinal section, hypanthium diameter in the middle of the ovary locules ca. 3 mm; style recurved, 4.1–5.7 mm long, base ca. 0.5 mm diam, apex ca. 0.8 mm diam, glabrous; stigma ca. 0.8 mm diam, truncated, covered with bearded trichomes. <i>Capsule</i> pale green before dehiscence, subspherical to cupuliform, 5.7–6.3 x 6.1–6.7 mm; pedicel 2.2–3.2 mm long. Seeds 0.6–0.8 x 0.3–0.4 mm, cuneiform, raphal zone apically extended, and testa papillose.</p><p><b>Distribution, ecology and phenology</b>:— <i>Allomaieta peltata</i> is known only from the Central Cordillera of the Colombian Andes, occurring at elevations between 1350 and 1700 m (Figure 5.). It grows in the understory of dense montane forests. This species has been collected with flowers, flower buds, and fruits in February, March, and July. The flowers have a sweet smell and are visited by Curculionidae beetles.</p><p><b>Conservation status</b>: <i>— Allomaieta peltata</i> is known only from two locations: one population grows in an unprotected area experiencing continuous forest cover loss due to livestock activities, while the other population is located within the protected area of Selva de Florencia National Natural Park. According to the current collections and known populations, this taxon has an EOO of 9.3 km ² and an AOO of 12 km ². This species is considered at risk due to its narrow distribution and its specialized and threatened habitat. Based on current knowledge, we propose assigning the provisional category ‘Endangered’ (EN) B1a+B2a(ii,iii,v), as most occurrences are recorded outside protected areas where vegetation cover is consistently declining (IUCN 2024).</p><p><b>Etymology</b>:—The epithet refers to the peltate leaves, a unique trait of this species within <i>Allomaieta</i>.</p><p><b>Additional specimen examined (paratypes):—</b> COLOMBIA.

Castaño 1128</i> (FAUC!).</p><p><b>Notes</b>:— <i>Allomaieta peltata</i> resembles <i>A. strigosa</i> and <i>A. melidae</i> by the strigose indument, but <i>A. peltata</i> is the only known species within <i>Allomaieta</i> that has peltate leaves (vs marginal petioles in the remaining species of <i>Allomaieta</i>), white flowers (vs heliotrope in <i>A. strigosa</i> and light pink in <i>A. melidae</i>). Additionally, <i>A. peltata</i> has leaf blades with usually cuspidate apex, inflorescences more branched and different size petals. Comparison between species with strigose indument are provided in Table 1.</p><p>In <i>Allomaieta</i>, the petals may be white or, more commonly, bicolored to varying degrees, typically with a purple to pink outer region and a yellow or white center, sometimes with a gradual transition of color toward the middle (Michelangeli <i>et al.</i> 2011, Michelangeli <i>et al.</i> 2022). Of the 13 known species of <i>Allomaieta</i>, only <i>A. ebejicosana</i> Lozano in Lozano & Becerra-de-Lozano (1999: 17), <i>A. peltata</i>, and <i>A. zenufanasana</i> Lozano in Lozano & Becerra-de-Lozano (1999: 12) have petals that are entirely or almost entirely white. In addition to its peltate leaves, <i>A. peltata</i> is characterized by a strigose indumentum on branches, petioles, inflorescences, and floral buds (vs. hispid trichomes in <i>A. ebejicosana</i> and <i>A. zenufanasana</i>). Finally, <i>A. peltata</i> is not sympatric with the other white-flowered species of <i>Allomaieta</i> (Lozano & Becerra-de-Lozano 1999, Mendoza-Cifuentes 2018, Murillo-Serna & David-Higuita 2021, Murillo-Serna <i>et al.</i> 2025).</p>
