Pleroma marinana and P. penduliflora, two new species of Pleroma (Melastomataceae) from the dry seasonal Atlantic forest of Espírito Santo, Brazil, are described and illustrated, with their affinities and diagnostic characters discussed. Pleroma marinana is similar to Tibouchina radula and T. oreophila while Pleroma penduliflora is similar to Pleroma heteromalla, Tibouchina bahiensis and T. formosa. According to the criteria of the IUCN Red List, T. marinana must be included in the vulnerable and T. penduliflora in the endangered category.

During our studies on Eugenia of Espírito Santo state, Brazil, two new species came out of our attention being here described, illustrated and compared morphologically with their similar species. Eugenia mestrealvarensis can be easily recognised by its clusters of fascicules on trunk with pedicellate flowers, an unusual feature among the species of the genus, and E. penduliflora by its two-flowered raceme with later vegetative proliferation with pendular pedicels. Both species are evaluated as critically endangered following IUCN red list criteria, being E. mestrealvarensis restricted to the Área de Proteção Ambiental Estadual de Mestre Álvaro, and E. penduliflora to the Reserva Natural Vale, in Espírito Santo state.

Two new species of Eugenia (Myrtaceae), endemic to the Atlantic forest in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, are described. Eugenia amorimii has fruits with brown mealy indumentum and is similar to E. multicostata, while Eugenia sobraliana has a characteristic pedicels exfoliating longitudinally after anthesis and is similar to E. sessiliflora. The new species are restricted to single localities in the central and northwestern regions of Espírito Santo. According to the criteria of the IUCN Red List of endangered plant species both species should be considered as “Vulnerable”.

Stachytarpheta tomentosa from the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, is described and illustrated. Currently it is known only from a single inselberg in the Atlantic Forest, at approximately 900 m.a.s.l., and is considered Critically Endangered in accordance with the criteria of the IUCN Red List of endangered species. The new species is characterized by tomentose branches; lanceolate leaves with tomentose abaxial surface; tomentose bracts; calyx 4-toothed with 1 adaxial sinus, externally hirsute along the ribs, puberulent between the ribs; and blue corolla with white throat. It belongs to the informal group “Gesnerioides”. An identification key for the species of this group is provided, alongside description, map and illustrations.

Abstract Espírito Santo is a hotspot of diversity in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil, where five new species of Vernonieae from the genera Cololobus, Lepidaploa, Lessingianthus, Piptocarpha, and Vernonanthura were found, and four of them occur in the municipality of Santa Teresa. These discoveries show that current knowledge on biodiversity in Espírito Santo is incipient, even in sites with decades of biological inventories, such as Santa Teresa. Here, all five species are described with comments about distribution, conservations status, phenology and taxonomic affinities. We also provide illustrations and a distribution map of the new species. According to the criteria of IUCN red list, Cololobus argenteus and Vernonanthura spathulata must be included in endangered (EN) category.

A New Species

Abstract— The Atlantic Forest is the most species rich vegetation in Brazil and holds several phytophysiognomies, including the vegetation on inselbergs, which is a very stressful xeric environment that selects for very specialized biota. Cololobus is an endemic genus from Atlantic Forest inselbergs of eastern Brazil, and Cololobus ruschianus is a new species based on morphological evidence, differing from other species of the genus by its morphological traits in petioles, subinvolucral bracts, and outer involucral bracts. Cololobus ruschianus occurs in Santa Teresa, Espírito Santo State, Brazil and would likely be considered Critically Endangered (CR), based on the criteria of the IUCN red list.

Bocagea, a distinctive genus of tribe Bocageeae (Annonaceae), is revisited here. It is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and has been for almost 200 years represented by only two species, B. longepedunculata and B. viridis. Recent collections from Espírito Santo and São Paulo States produced two new species, described here. The species of Bocagea are rare plants, all of them classified at least as endangered.

The genus Alterosa Blahnik (2005), with 39 extant species, is endemic to Atlantic Forest areas of southern and southeastern Brazil. Herein, we describe and illustrate two new species from Rio de Janeiro state, southeastern Brazil: Alterosa cornuta sp. nov., easily diagnosed by the horn-like intermediate appendages crossing each other, and A. araras sp. nov., recognized mainly by the extremely developed basodorsal protuberance on tergum X and by the rod-like, mesally curved preanal appendages, with at least 2 stout spine-like setae positioned at mid length and with the apex cupped. Additionally, a new distributional record for Espírito Santo state, southeastern Brazil, is provided for Alterosa falcata Blahnik (2005).
