Abstract: The genus Salpichroa (Solanaceae) contains fifteen species. Except for one cosmopolitan species, the genus is restricted to the Andes of South America. To a large degree the dissertation supports Simpson's (1975) phytogeographical hypothesis of the Andean flora. The study examines the data available from the investigations of external morphology, stem anatomy, palynology and seed coat morphology. A taxonomic revision, including keys, description, illustrations and discussion of the taxa are presented. The hypothetical relationships among the species of Salpichroa are summarized in a cladogram.
