Abstract

Zanthoxylum magnifructum is a recently described species based on only a fruiting specimen collected in tropical dry forests in the department of Huila in Colombia. An emended description and illustration are presented, including flowers and seeds, which were previously unknown. Comments on its geographical distribution, conservation status, taxonomic affinities, and sexual dimorphism are made. A key for the species of Zanthoxylum that occur in tropical dry forest in Colombia is provided.
