Abstract
This is the first comprehensive paper on the Phallaceae and Clathraceae of Costa Rica, comprising a total of 14 species collected during the last 15 years, and includes the new species Ligiella rodrigueziana Sáenz and several others only rarely collected. The specimen of Xylophallus xylogenus (Montagne) Fischer, is the second world record for this species; both Staheliomyces cinctus Ed. Fischer and Laternea triscapa Turpin are also rare specimens. A brief description of each species and comments on their ecology are included.References
