Abstract

During fieldwork to assess biodiversity of the canga at the Serra de Campos, São Félix do Xingu, in the mountains of the Amazon rainforest, a new species of Lauraceae, Dicypellium anisum, was discovered, which is described and illustrated here. It is distinct from the other Dicypellium species by its shrubby habit, triplinerved leaves with domatia in the axils of the basal veins, and vegetative parts with aniseed scent.
