Naucleopsis tubulata (Moraceae), a new species endemic to the Brazilian Amazon is described and illustrated in this paper. The conical to tubular shape of the perianth of the pistillate flower and fruit, the narrowly oblong shape of the leaves, and the filaments connate at the base differ from other species in the genus. This new species shows morphological similarities with N. caloneura and N. insculptula. The latter, previously treated as a synonym of N. caloneura, is re-established in this paper. We here present a taxonomic treatment for the new species of Naucleopsis, reestablished N. insculptula, and an updated identification key for the Naucleopsis species that occur in the Boreal Brazilian Domain.

A new species of Genlisea section Genlisea from the white-sand savannas (“campinaranas”) of Brazilian Amazon is described and illustrated, providing remarks on habitat and ecology as well as SEM seed images. Genlisea multiflora has been recorded from Viruá National Park, and is of affinity to the large, purple-flowered species G. sanariapoana and G. guianensis. An identification key to all Genlisea species north of the Amazon is presented.

A New Species

A new species of Lophogyne from a Brazilian Amazon savanna is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to the former Jenmaniella species, due to the presence of stems that arise from prostrate roots attached to the substratum, a gynophore at anthesis, and three prominent non-suture ribs per valve in the fruit, currently merged in Lophogyne s.l.. Lophogyne wilsonii can be distinguished from all others species of  Lophogyne s.l. by the apical region of the roots unattached from the substratum. The conservation status is discussed and an identification key is presented.

A New Species

Miconia is the largest genus of Melastomataceae in Brazil with more than 280 species, of which 120 are found in the Atlantic Rainforest. We present here a taxonomic treatment for the species of Miconia that occur in Espírito Santo, with morphological descriptions, geographic distribution, comments, photos and an identification key. We found 55 species, from which six were recently described (five endemic, M. capixaba, M. kollmannii, M. michelangeliana, M. ruschiana and M. valentinensis, and one with wider distribution, M. atlantica) and six are new records for the state (Miconia molesta, M. petroniana, M. staminea, M. stenostachya, M. valtheri and M. willdenowii). One species is presented here as a new species that will be described soon by other authors.

New Occurrences

A taxonomic study of the Neotropical genus Moutabea (Polygalaceae) in Brazil is presented, based on the analysis of herbarium material and field collections. Nine species are recognized: Moutabea aculeata, M. angustifolia, M. arianiae, M. chodatiana, M. excoriata, M. floribunda, M. gentryi, M. guianensis, and M. victoriana, a new species described here. The Brazilian Amazon is the diversity center of this genus. The following species were considered new occurrences: M. aculeata for the states of Amazonas, Pará and Rondônia; M. angustifolia for Amazonas, Amapá, Pará and Maranhão; M. arianiae for Amazonas, M. chodatiana for Roraima, Amazonas, Amapá and Pará; M. excoriata for Pará and Maranhão; and M. gentryi for Brazil (Amazonas and Rondônia). Moutabea dibotrya is considered synonymous with M. aculeata, and M. silvatica with M. excoriata. Lectotypes for M. dibotrya, M. excoriata and M. silvatica are proposed. An identification key, illustrations and maps of the geographic distributions of the species are presented.
