Abstract
Ipomopsis sancti-spiritus, a new species in sect.Ipomopsis, from the mountains of northern New Mexico is described and illustrated. The purplish calyx, pink corolla, and a short pistil with the stigma situated below the included stamens represent a unique combination of characters. The new species is similar toI. arizonica but differs primarily in corolla color and in length of the pistil.
