Abstract

Strychnos jacarepiensis E. A. Manoel & E. F. Guim. is described and illustrated as a new species from Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. It differs from S. gardneri by the terminal inflorescence and shorter corolla tube, and from S. brasiliensis by the connate and amplexicaul interpetiolar stipule, velutinous calyx lobes, villous filaments and discoid seeds.
