Three new species of Centella are described: C. cryptocarpa, C. gymnocarpa and C. longifolia . These species are similar to C. montana and in order to clarify species limits, the latter is also described and illustrated. The concept of the series Montanae is broadened to include all species with transversely oblong fruit of which the commissure is narrower than the rest of the fruit.
