Resumen

Background and Aims: Moquilea (Chrysobalanaceae) has 54 species distributed between North and South America; 23 grow in Colombia, of which five in Chocó. Two recent collections from Chocó attracted attention due to their compact inflorescences and medium to large fruits, so the aim of this study is to further clarify their identity.
Methods: The collections and types of Chrysobalanaceae, deposited in the CHOCO, COL, HUA, PMA and SCZ herbaria, were reviewed. They were studied with the most up-to-date taxonomic literature. The conservation status of this species in Colombia was evaluated according to the IUCN categories and criteria.
Key results: The first confirmed record of Moquilea fasciculata (Chrysobalanaceae) for Colombia is presented, fully mature fruits and seeds are described, and a key is provided to differentiate it from its most similar species. For Colombia it is categorized as Critically Endangered.
Conclusion: Due to its inflorescence (small and compact fascicles), it is unmistakable within the genus. Its record increases the number of Moquilea species recorded for Chocó and Colombia to 5 and 24, respectively.
