PUPPO, Pamela. Genus Calceolaria (Calceolariaceae) in Lima department, Peru. Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2006, vol.13, n.1, pp.85-93. ISSN 1727-9933.

Calceolaria has 29 species in Lima. These species belong to two subgenus and thirteen sections of the genus. Calceolaria rivularis is first reported for this department. Calceolaria bicrenata, C. inflexa, C. linearis, C. neglecta, C. pulverulenta and C. scabra, have not been collected in Lima for more than fifty years, and the existing collections for this department are not in national herbariums. Most of the species are found in grass steppe with dispersed bushes, between 3000-3900 m; five species grow in lomas, and only one (C. dichotoma) is restricted to this formation. A key, drawings and short descriptions are provided for these species. Brief comments about the genus diversity in Peru, common names and uses are also included.
