Abstract:—Hohenbergia Schult. & Schult. f. has 65 recognized species (Luther, 2012) organized in two subgenera. The subgenus Hohenbergia includes 43 species and four varieties, mostly bearing apiculate to caudate ovules and yellow, green to lilac- blue petals. Except for H. stellata Schult. & Schult. f., the subgenus Hohenbergia is endemic to Brazil, with a major center of distribution in northeastern Brazil, mainly in the state of Bahia. The subgenus Wittmackiopsis Mez has the remaining taxa, occurring in the region of the Greater Antilles of the Caribbean, and consists of species with obtuse ovules and white petals.
