• Resumen

  • A description of Hypoxis bampsiana Wiland (Hypoxidaceae) is extended, and a new subspecies, H. bampsiana subsp. tomentosa Wiland, is described from the Dzalanyama Forest Reserve in Malawi (also distributed from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania). It differs from H. bampsiana subsp. bampsiana in the indumentum dispersed on the whole leaf blade and in the number of leaf veins. Ranges of both subspecies are almost allopatric except at the Kundelungu Plateau in the Democratic Republic of Congo where they co-occur.
