Résumé

Styrax paulhousei, a new species of Styrax L. series Valvatae Perkins from northwestern Honduras, is described and illustrated. It is similar to S. ramirezii Greenm. but differs in having fewer secondary leaf veins and larger corollas. The species is endemic to the Sierra del Merendón in the Department of Cortés and is categorized as vulnerable as based on IUCN Red List criteria. The discovery of this species brings the number of Styrax species native in Honduras to six.
