The systematic position of Phragmotheca in the tribe quararibeae is discussed and a key for the Bombacaceae with simple or unifoliolate leaves occurring in northern South America is included. The diagnostic utility of some characters in the segregation of species in Phragmotheca, is reviewed and a diagnostic key is presented. Four new species and two new infraspecific taxa are described and illustrated: P.rubriflora, P.lemniscata, P.hydra, P.siderosa subsp. megacarpa and P. amazonica varo leticiana from Colombia and P.sidereotricha from Peru.
