A new species of Erythroxylum from Colombia and Panama is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to Erythroxylum acuminatum from Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia but differs from this species by its longer and caducous stipules, with two longer lateral setae, and by the underdeveloped anterior ligule of the petals.
