Description
Summary:The Drosera species endemic to the central and northern Andes are revised here, including three species: the Venezuelan D. cendeensis as well as D. peruensis and D. condor sp. nov., from Peru and Ecuador. The latter is a new species endemic to the Cordillera del Cóndor that is here described and illustrated for the first time. The similarities and differences between these three taxa are discussed and the previously poorly known D. cendeensis and D. peruensis are provided with amended descriptions, illustrations and photographs. New records expand the known distribution range of D. peruensis through the sub-Andean cordilleras in Peru and Ecuador.
