Abstract

In the 16th Botanical Congress of Mexico it was pointed out, that the floral richness of Mexico is the third greatest one on the earth. The actual count of the cormophyta species is getting to ca 22,500, esteemed to reach up to about 30,000 in the state of full exploration. Therefore an intensifying of the field studies, collecting activities and taxonomic/phylogenetic - both morphological and molecular - studies has been decided by the congress, for an effective protection of this extraordinary biodiversity. Rubiaceae is one of the families represented with the highest generic and specific diversity of the Mexican Flora with 102 genera and ca 560-570 species. During the last 15 years 9 new genera and 95 new species have been described showing the further possibilities of a more intensified exploration. With this paper a series of publications is started for a quick and comprehensive introduction of the new results into the scientific knowledge. The first paper contains the description of two new Arachnothryx species and a new variety of Rogiera from Chiapas.
