Abstract

Campuloclinium alternifolium was re-collected in southeastern Tocantins State, Brazil, after the Gardner collection in 1840. This new material reveals opposite, slightly decussate cauline leaves in contrast with the original description. Ecological insights are provided in order to locate new populations of this poorly known species, and detailed pictures are presented for the first time. The species name is lectotypified.
