A new genus in the Gesneriaceae, Cremospermopsis L. E. Skog & L. P Kvist, is described from the very humid forests in the Colombian departments of Antioquia and adjacent Bolivar. The new genus of two species, C. cestroides and C. parviflora, is similar and may be related to Cremosperma, but differs in having inflorescence bracts, unequal calyx lobes, and spherical papillate seeds.
