Misopates pontiense sp. nov. is described from one population located in the north‐west of the Iberian Peninsula. It is an annual, living on charred soils. Its distinguishing characteristics include its seeds, which have a carinate dorsal face and an encircling rounded ridge with cylindrical papillae, but lack a median ridge on the ventral face. Morphological characters and taxonomic affinities are discussed.
