Resumen

A new species from Peru, Gentianella tayacajensis, collected in the department of Huancavelica, Tayacaja province, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically close to G. tristicha, G. graminea and G. oreosilene, from which it is distinguished by presenting rotaceous corollas with narrowly oblanceolate coroline lobes, 18-22 mm long and 5-6.2 mm wide; also, by the presence of filiform trichomes with rounded protuberances inside the corolla. The morphological differences between the new species and related species are discussed and its geographic distribution is mapped.
