El Salvador has 1,213 arboreal taxa, of which 1,000 are native and 213 taxa are exotic or cultivated, including subspecies and varieties (Linares 2003). Woody plants at some point reaches 3 m in height and more than 10 cm in diameter at chest height (DBH). Despite the fact that the checklist of Berendsohn et al (2009, 2012, 2016) represents the work of several years of research, including studying herbarium collections abroad as well as herbaria in El Salvador, it does not include the three species reported here. Berendsohn et al (2009, 2012, 2016) reports 1,191 species, 115 subspecies and varieties, and three groups of cultivars, representing 1,206 taxa of which 948 are considered native to El Salvador. The discrepancies in the numbers may be due to the fact that some little-known taxa such as <span class="AllRegularItalics"><span lang="ES-TRAD"><em>Plumeria marialenae</em></span></span> J.F. Gut. &amp; J. Linares (Gutiérrez &amp; Linares 2006) are considered synonymous by some authors. The three new country records were found in the north and south west of the country in the departments of Santa Ana, Chalatenango and Ahuachapán, areas of high arboreal diversity.</p> ER -
