Abstract

Recent collection activities carried out in southern Espírito Santo State (Brazil) lead us to describe a new species of Dendrophorbium. It has been overlooked and misidentified as D. bradei or D. fruticosum until now. Morphological characters are provided to easily distinguish each other, as well as detailed pictures of the new species. It occurs in Atlantic ombrophilous dense forest remnants.
