Abstract
Two new Jaltomata species (Solanaceae) of Peru that produce red floral nectar are described. Jaltomata neei of Department Cajamarca has 1–4 flowers per inflorescence, the campanulate corolla is green and then changes to blue, corolla lobes (5) and lobules (5) are equally prominent, a corona is lacking, five radial staminal-corolla thickenings create nectar troughs between, and the stigma is capitate. Jaltomata quipuscoae of Department Arequipa has solitary flowers, a purple, broadly crateriform, 5-lobed corolla, a corona on which nectar pools, a punctiform stigma, lacks corolla thickenings, and the mature fruit is whitish. Photographs, illustrations and tables are included that allow comparison with closely related species.
