摘要

A synopsis of Freziera is presented for Mesoamerica. We document 14 species of Freziera for Mesoamerica, 10 of which are endemic to the region. We also describe three new species: F. aguilarii D.Santam., F. dauphinii D.Santam., and F. jefensis D.Santam. that we assess as Vulnerable to extinction (CR), Near Threatened (NT), and Endangered (E) respectively. The newly described species had previously been considered to be conspecific to F. calophylla, or F. grisebachii. We also resurrect F. lancifolia, which has previously been treated as a synonym of F. grisebachii, but which we consider to be morphologically distinct. In addition, we designate a lectotype for F. guatemalensis. Distinctive characters, distribution, habitat, phenology, and illustrations are provided. We also provide a summary of the morphology, natural history, common names, and uses for Freziera species in Mesoamerica.
