Two new species from Colombia assigned to Sloanea section Brevispicae, Sloanea helianthoides and S. Huilaeana, are described and illustrated. Sloanea helianthoides is characterized by its flowers with large sepals (7-9 mm long) and large fruit (c. 6 cm long) with grouped spines and many seeds (more than 20) and Sloanea huilaeana is distinguished by its craspedodrome venation, coppery indumentum on the leaves, and the fruit spines slightly curved and getting thinner towards the capsule apex. A key to the Colombian species of section Brevispicae is included.
