Abstract

Here, we describe and illustrate Plinia delicata, a new species from rocky outcrops from the southeastern Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. The new species is related to Plinia pseudodichasiantha, from which it is distinguished mainly through the smaller leaves and longer bracteoles.
