A new species and a new record of the genus Jungia L. fil (Asteraceae, Mutisioideae, Nassauvieae) for Southern Peru.

A new species of Jungia L. fil. (Asteraceae Bercht. & J. Presl), Jungia alba is described and illustrated from the high Andean scrublands of the western slope of the Southern Peru. The species resembles J. axilaris and J. polita but differs from it in the shrubby habit, glutinous consistence, stipules absent and paniculate synflorescences of white flowers. Furthermore, we reported J. woodii for the first time to the Flora of Peru. A detailed morphological description, illustration, ecological information, distribution and conservation status for each taxon are provided.
