Abstract
A new species of Agalinis from the state of Veracruz is herein described, illustrated and compared with A. flexicaulis, A. harperi, A. maritima var. grandiflora, and A. peduncularis. This new taxon was found in a single locality in the northern coast of Veracruz, Mexico, near to a mangrove-swamp. Given its highly restricted distribution, this species is considered as endemic, being critically endangered as a consequence of local urbanization.
