Abstract

Byrsonima delicatula, a new species of Malpighiaceae endemic to Roraima State, northern Brazil, is described and illustrated. Byrsonima delicatula is most similar to B. intermedia, from which it is distinguished by leaf blade and ovary pubescence, and stipule, bract, and bracteole length.
