Abstract

A new species of Lepidaploa (Vernonieae, Compositae) is here described as L. nakajimae, an endemic species of Maciço do Urucum range, Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. This new species differs from the closely related L. scintillans basically in its leaf width 1.0–2.2 cm (vs. 0.1–0.3 cm), sessile capitula (vs. short pedunculate), florets 40–42 (vs. 10–12), and anthers 2.0 mm long (vs. 3.6–4.3 mm long). Illustrations, comments, distribution map, and conservation status are provided for the new species.
