Two new species of Lachemilla (Rosaceae) are described and illustrated. Lachemilla jaramilloi Romoleroux &Morales‐Briones from Ecuador is characterized by its decumbent habit, villous‐hirsute pubescence, long basal petiole, and deeply tri‐parted leaf blades. The flowers are sessile to subsessile and subtended by episepals, and the hypanthia elongated and glabrescent. Lachemilla talamanquensis Romoleroux & Morales‐Briones from Costa Rica is distinguished by its sericeous‐villous, ascending branches, sub‐sessile distal leaves, tri‐lobed leaf blades, forming whorls with the stipule. The flowers are solitary or arranged in few‐flowered inflorescences, with big, dark, villous hypanthia, containing several achenes.
