Abstract
Three species of Leprocaulon Nyl. ex Lamy are recognized in Venezuela, viz. L. microscopicum (Vill.) Gams ex D. Hawksw. (Andes, new to Venezuela), L. arbuscula (Nyl.) Nyl. (new to Amazonas; Andes) and L. congestum (Nyl.) Lamb & Ward (Andes). Special attention has been paid to the morphology and the secondary chemistry of each species. Two earlier reported species of Leprocaulon are excluded from the flora of Venezuela: L. gracilescens (Nyl.) I. M. Lamb & A. Ward is reduced to a chemical strain of L. albicans (Th. Fr.) Nyl. ex Hue, and L. pseudoarbuscula (Asah.) Lamb. & Ward is reduced to a chemical strain of L. arbuscula.
