Three sections of Calceolaria (Scrophulariaceae) in NW South America are revised, viz. sect. Urticopsis (8 species in the area), Lobatae (4), and Micranthera (2). Sect. Urticopsis is characterized by herbaceous, ovate, petiolate leaves and white to buffish pubescence. Sect. Lobatae is characterized by lobate, petiolate leaves and white to greyish white pubescence. Sect. Micranthera comprises small herbs with a weedy habit, characterized by small anthers and unusually long filaments. Three new species are described, viz. C. obtusa, C. trichanthera , and C. adenocalyx (all in sect. Urticopsis) , and one new combination is made, viz. C. penlandii ssp. puraceensis (sect. Urticopsis). Chromosome numbers (all 2n = 36) are reported for C. lamiifolia, C. obtusa, C. penlandii ssp. penlandii , and C. dichotoma.
