Abstract

Arrojadoa bahiensis subsp. minutiflora is described on the basis of living collections and herbarium specimens. The new subspecies is considered endemic to the Brazilian Caatinga (Municipality of Piatã, Diamantina Plateau, Bahia State). Comments on its morphology in comparison with the similar taxa, as well as geographical distribution, phenology, habitat, conservation status, and original photographs are provided.
