Kenn., <em>C. barryi</em> H. Kenn., and <em>C. velutinifolia</em> H. Kenn., endemic to Colombia, are described as new. <em>Calathea neurophylla</em> is characterized by the single cauline leaf subtending one or more inflorescences of spirally arranged bracts and the markedly ridged, narrowly elliptic leaf blades (length 6.25–8.46 times width). <em>Calathea barryi</em> is characterized by the single cauline leaf subtending several inflorescences with 25–43 spirally arranged bracts and the very closely spaced lateral veins (ca. 67 per 3 cm). <em>Calathea velutinifolia </em>is distinguished by the 4–15 basal leaves, the densely appressed velvety tomentose adaxial the leaf surface and the 8–10 distichous, white bracts.</p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas}, author={Kennedy, Helen}, year={2017}, month={Jul.}, pages={29–37} }
