Abstract

Abutilon is represented in the state of São Paulo by 18 species mainly distributed in the Atlantic Forest, especially in dense rainforest. This work includes an identification key, illustrations, and comments on morphology, habitat, geographical distribution and conservation status. A new species (Abutilon costicalyx), three new synonyms, and three new records for São Paulo are presented.
