Abstract
The recently described Lepechinia flammea was originally known only from the Sierra Madre del Sur in Guerrero, Mexico. However, a new population of this species was uncovered in Jalisco during recent botanical explorations. Additionally, it was more recently described in Oaxaca as L. oaxacana , a name that in this work is synonymized with L. flammea . Meanwhile, L. glomerata , the most morphologically similar species to L. flammea , was rediscovered in Jalisco. Morphological notes on L. flammea , an extended description of L. glomerata , and photographs and distribution maps for the two species are provided. We also explore the relationships of these two species within Lepechinia , and show they are closely related to the more broadly distributed L. nelsonii .
