A new species of Calceolaria L., endemic to an Andean sector of Central Chile, in the administrative Region of Valparaíso, is described on the basis of morphological characters. Belonging to Section Cheiloncos Wettst. and within this, to Group B proposed by Ehrhart for the Chilean species, it is distinguished from the other taxa in this Group by its open corolla and its long and exserted stamens. Photographs of the species and its habitat, a map of its location, information on its distribution and ecology, a proposed conservation category according to IUCN criteria, and a taxonomic key for the species of the genus present in the area are provided.
