Ruellia
comprises 23 species in southern South America, which display great
diversification in flower and inflorescence morphology, presumably associated
with a wide array of pollinators; this has resulted in the evolution of many
different florasl syndromes. The generic limits of Ruellia are discussed in
relation to this variation, and several generic names are considered synonims.
Within these, Ruelli amagniflora is described as new, and more than 20 species
and subspecies names are treated as synonyms for the first time. Ruelli
alanceolata is excluded andreduced to synonymy of Justicia. The species are
described and illustrated, and keys to all the taxa are given.
