Se describe e ilustra Styrax paulhousei, especie nueva de Styrax L. series Valvatae Perkins, del noroeste de Honduras. Se parece a S. ramirezii Greenm., pero se diferencia de aquel por tener menos venas secundarias en la hoja y corolas más grandes. La especie es endémica de la Sierra del Merendón en el Departamento de Cortés y se clasifica como vulnerable según los criterios de la Lista Roja de la IUCN. El descubrimiento de esta especie eleva a seis el número de especies de Styrax nativas en Honduras.
