Resumen

Microlicia crenatifolia é descrita como uma nova espécie do Planalto de Diamantina, um conhecido centro de endemismo de plantas no sudeste do Brasil. A espécie pode ser reconhecida por suas folhas pequenas (até 8.3 mm compr.) que são conspicuamente crenuladas a levemente serreadas, pedicelos florais curtos (0.7–1.0 mm compr.), lacínias do cálice lineares externamente pontuado-glandulosas e cobertas com tricomas glandulares curtos de 0.1–0.3 mm compr. São fornecidas ilustrações, fotos de Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura de folhas, sementes e indumento, um mapa de distribuição geográfica, e uma chave de identificação para Microlicia crenatifolia e prováveis espécies relacionadas (M. canastrensis, M. pabstii, M. serratifolia, e M. thomazii).
