964987C9FF8CFFF2FF5EE835FB96FDB3.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — Chromolucuma pentagona is considered endemic to central Colombia, occurring in an area between Andes and Magdalena Valley biogeographical regions on the eastern slopes of the Central Cordillera (Fig. 3). It has been collected in the department of Antioquia. Chromolucuma pentagona inhabits lowland rainforests on karst reliefs from 470 – 1000 m elev., under “ equatorial rainforest ” climate (Af). Phenology: — Flowers observed in June, October and December – January; fruits in March, June and August.	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.

964987C9FF8CFFF2FF5EE835FB96FDB3.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The epithet “ pentagona ” is composed of the Greeks “ penta ” (five) and “ gonos ” (angle); referring to the fruit being 5 - angled in transection when dry, one of the useful features to distinguish Chromolucuma pentagona from C. rubriflora Ducke (1925: 160), with which the new species was previously confused. Common names: — “ Caimo blanco ”. Preliminary conservation status: — Chromolucuma pentagona is here proposed under “ Endangered ” EN category following the criteria B 1 ab (iii) + 2 ab (iii) because to its small both area of occupancy (AOO) and extent of occurrence (EOO), the few recorded subpopulations and the continuous decline of its habitat quality. Chromolucuma pentagona has AOO of 20 km 2, an EOO of 232 km 2, and three known subpopulations. One subpopulation is fully inside a protected area, another is only partially inside of another protected area, giving some 33 % of its occurrences being in protected areas. All subpopulations are located less than 10 km from urban centers. This species is recorded from small and fragmented forest patches (<50 km 2), which are in continuous decline due to agricultural expansion and deforestation in the Magdalena Valley Region (Sánchez-Cuervo & Aide 2013). Several limestone mining projects surround potential localities of C. pentagona.	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.

Recognition: — This new species belongs to Chromolucuma due to its presence of stipules, yellowish latex, pedicellate flowers, presence of staminodes, and seeds with plano-convex cotyledons. Chromolucuma pentagona is most similar to C. cespedesiiformis and somewhat also C. rubriflora. These species share leaf-like stipules longer than 1 cm long and leaf blades with the lower surface clearly visible, not pellicle-like. Chromolucuma baehniana Monachino (1948: 57) also has stipules longer than 1 cm but the leaf blades are pellicle-like on the lower surface.	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.

964987C9FF8CFFF2FF5EE835FB96FDB3.taxon	description	Chromolucuma pentagona is distinguished from C. rubriflora by its shorter pedicels 6 – 11 mm long (vs. 15 – 37 mm long), shorter sepals 2.9 – 3.6 mm long (vs. 4.5 – 5.0 mm long), stamens with longer filaments 2.2 – 2.5 mm long (vs. ca. 0.5 mm long) and shorter anthers 0.8 – 0.9 mm long (vs. ca. 1.8 mm long), and 5 - locular ovary, developing transversely 5 - angled fruits when dry, 5 - seeded (vs. 2 – 3 - locular, fruits broadly ellipsoid, 1 - seeded). The papillae on corolla and staminodes supports the hypothesis of Swenson et al. (2023 a) that this is possibly diagnostic for Chromolucuma. Additionally, this new species expands the morphological conspectus of Chromolucuma to include 5 - seeded fruits. Notes: — Specimens of Chromolucuma pentagona had been misidentified as C. rubriflora by Pennington & Bernal (2016). It is worth mentioning that the habit is not distinctive between Chromolucuma pentagona and C. cespedesiiformis. The use of habit to differentiate C. cespedesiiformis by Vasconcelos et al. (2021) was based on a typographical error in the protologue of C. cespedesiiformis, indicating shrubs 2 – 3 m tall. The isotype of C. cespedesiiformis (R. Aguilar 5731, MO) in Morales (2012) indicated a habit as tree 15 m tall, like to the indirectly emended by Morales (2015). Regarding neotropical Chrysophylloideae, fascicles that develop into short scaly shoots (Fig. 2 I – J) had been reported only for Micropholis (Grisebach 1864: 399) Pierre (1891: 37) by Pennington (1990). Munzinger & Swenson (2015) used the term “ burls ” for the same feature in Chrysophylloideae from Oceania.	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.

964987C9FF89FFFEFF5EEC33FEDAF836.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The epithet “ caucanum ” is composed of the name in Spanish “ Cauca ” and the Latin suffix “ anus ” (pertaining to), indicating that this species occurs in Cauca River Basin. Common names: — “ Media cara ” or “ Caimito ”. Preliminary conservation status: — Chrysophyllum caucanum is here proposed under “ Endangered ” EN category following the criteria B 1 ab (iii) + 2 ab (iii) because to its small both AOO and EOO, the few recorded subpopulations and the continuous decline of its habitat quality. Chrysophyllum caucanum has an AOO of 48 km 2, an EOO of 1344 km 2, and eight known subpopulations. All subpopulations are outside of protected areas and located less than 10 km from urban centers. Specimens are recorded from very small and fragmented forest patches (<15 km 2) or in areas of null forest cover. In fact, the dry forests where C. caucanum inhabits are considered as one of the most disturbed ecosystems in Colombia with only about 8 % of its original cover (García et al. 2014).	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.

964987C9FF82FFFAFF5EEEDFFBFBFB07.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — Pouteria karsticola is considered endemic to central Colombia, occurring in the Magdalena Valley biogeographical region on the eastern slopes of the Central Cordillera (Fig. 3). It has been collected in the department of Antioquia. Pouteria karsticola inhabits lowland rainforests on karst reliefs, from 192 – 428 m elev., under “ equatorial rainforest ” climate (Af). Phenology: — Flowers observed in April and November; fruits in November.	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.

964987C9FF82FFFAFF5EEEDFFBFBFB07.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The epithet “ karsticola ” is composed of the word karst (landscapes associated with calcareous rocky outcrops) and the Latin suffix “ cola ” (inhabitant), indicating the karst reliefs as the habitat known for Pouteria karsticola. Preliminary conservation status: — Pouteria karsticola is here proposed under “ Endangered ” EN category following the criteria B 1 ab (iii) + 2 ab (iii) because to its small both AOO and EOO, the few recorded subpopulations and the continuous decline of its habitat quality. Pouteria karsticola has an AOO of 16 km 2, an EOO of 22 km 2, and two known subpopulations. All subpopulations are outside of protected areas, one of them is fully inside of licenses of petroleum extraction and the other is partially inside of limestone mining projects. All subpopulations are located less than 10 km from urban centers. It is recorded from small and fragmented forest patches (<50 km 2) in continuous decline due to agricultural expansion and deforestation in the Magdalena Valley Region (Sánchez-Cuervo & Aide 2013). Several limestone mining projects surround potential habitat of P. karsticola.	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.

This clade includes most of the species currently placed in Pouteria s. l. but that do not belong to Pouteria s. s. Under the classification by Pennington (1990), P. karsticola falls in P. sect. Franchetella (Pierre 1890: 24) Eyma (1936: 184) due to its combination of leaf high order venation conspicuous, 5 – 6 - merous perianth, calyx in a single whorl, cup-shaped corolla with tube shorter than the lobes, well-developed staminodes, corolla lobes and staminodes not fringed-ciliate or papillose, included stamens and style, and 2 - locular ovary.	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.

964987C9FF82FFFAFF5EEEDFFBFBFB07.taxon	description	Notes: — It could be interesting to confirm the presence of fascicles subtended by bracts across the clade Q, as well as explore its taxonomic relevance. This feature was unique of Pouteria bracteata among American Sapotaceae (1990) and currently it is also known in P. karsticola. Other apparently related species such as P. bulliformis, P. dictyoneura (Grisebach 1862: 517) Radlkofer (1884: 464), P. gardneri (Mart. & Miq. in Miquel 1863) Baehni (1942: 233), and P. simulans Monach. in Steyermark et al. (1953: 488) have axillar to ramiflorous fascicles, being the latter subtended by broad scars, perhaps from large and caducous bracts. Pouteria gardneri and P. dictyoneura were closely related in the phylogeny by Swenson et al. (2023 a) and Pennington (1990) and Jiménez & Pennington (1997) recognized all these species as closely related. Finally, as most of the species currently placed in Pouteria, those listed under P. sect. Franchetella by Pennington (1990) will be probably transferred to another genus or genera (Swenson et al. 2023 a). Despite the future need to transfer this species from Pouteria to another (to be recognized) genus, the description of P. karsticola allows its inclusion in systematics studies, and conservation plans for its endangered habitat.	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.

964987C9FF81FFE1FF5EEB5FFC84FDD7.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The epithet “ tomentirostris ” is composed of the Latins “ tomentum ” (indumentum of dense and interwoven trichomes) and “ rostrum ” (beak), referencing the fruits that are tomentulose and usually rostrate, two useful features to distinguish Pradosia tomentirostris from P. golfodulcensis and P. glaziovii. Common names: — “ Caimo ” or “ Mono ” in Antioquia or Tolima departments respectively. Preliminary conservation status: — Pradosia tomentirostris is here proposed under “ Vulnerable ” VU category following the criteria B 1 ab (iii) + 2 ab (iii). Pradosia tomentirostris has an area of occupancy (AOO) of 48 km 2, an extent of occurrence (EOO) of 34933 km 2, and eleven known subpopulations. Only two subpopulations are inside of protected areas, four are fully inside of licenses of petroleum extraction, four are isolated (distanced more than 50 km from others). Ten subpopulations are located less than 10 km from urban centers.

Recognition: — The new species belongs to Pradosia due to its rotate corollas, absence of staminodes and drupaceous fruits, all considered key features for the genus by Terra-Araujo et al. (2016). Pradosia tomentirostris is similar to P. golfodulcensis and somewhat also to P. glaziovii (Pierre 1891: 56) Pennington (1990: 643). These three species share petioles without scales, similar leaf blades size, leaf primary veins impressed on the upper surface, ramiflorous fascicles, subsessile flowers (only with P. glaziovii) and fruits surface smooth (only with P. golfodulcensis). Pradosia tomentirostris is distinguished from P. golfodulcensis as indicated in the diagnosis, while from P. glaziovii by longer petioles in average, 2.0 – 4.7 cm long (vs. 0.8 – 2.2 cm long), corolla pale green (vs. reddish) and fruits usually rostrate with surface smooth and densely tomentulose (vs. rounded at apex, surface muricate, sparsely tomentulose).	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.

In the protologue of P. golfodulcensis, the authors noted the possibility of longer pedicels 6 – 8 mm long, however, the respective specimens for checking this was not available here or in that study. The pedicel length of P. golfodulcensis here presented is based only on direct observations by Aguilar-Fernández et al. (2022), that comes from floral buds. Finally, the juvenile and sterile individuals of Pradosia tomentirostris have some morphological variation that deserves mention. Their apical buds and leaves have a major presence of villous and more reddish indumentum, and the leaf blades reach 36.7 cm long and up to 24 secondary veins.	en	Londoño-Echeverri, Yeison (2025): New species in Chromolucuma, Chrysophyllum, Pouteria and Pradosia (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) from the Magdalena and Cauca Rivers basins in Colombia.
