N2 - The floristic inventory of the Sierra de Quila Natural Reserve, in western Mexico, resulted in the discovery of Polianthes quilae (Polianthes subgen. Bravoa). The novelty is related to P. cernua and P. geminiflora var. clivicola but is distinguished by the erect lanceolate leaves, glauous inflorescence with 4-21 floral nodes, 0.9-2.1 cm long pedicels, tubular-ventricose and bicolorous perigone with ascending lobes, and filament insertion site 3-5 mm above ovary apex. Data on geographic distribution and ecology, phenology, and conservation status are presented. Lastly, a key to all species of Polianthes is provided.
