Résumé

Microlicia goldenbergii is proposed as a new species from restingas of Canavieiras municipality, Bahia, Brazil. It can be recognized by a combination of ovate leaves with margins and apices that are conspicuously revolute, rectangular petioles 0.1–0.2 mm long, adaxial foliar surfaces that are smooth and glabrous to sparsely glandular-punctate, hypanthia densely glandular-punctate and covered with a few scattered eglandular trichomes 0.3–0.7 mm long that are concentrated only at the torus, dimorphic stamens with polysporangiate anthers and 3–4-locular ovaries. We provide line drawings, photographs, comments on the distribution M. goldenbergii and four putative relatives (M. restingae, M. subsetosa, M. confertiflora and M. cordata), and a distributional map.
