A floristic survey of the Lacistemataceae in Bahia, Brazil, is presented as a contribution to the study of the flora in the state. Three species of the genus Lacistema are recognized: L. grandifolium, L. lucidum and L. robustum. Lacistema grandifolium has its distribution in southern Bahia confirmed and L. lucidum is reported for the first time to Northeast Brazil, based on specimens from the Chapada Diamantina. Descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps and general notes on the taxa are provided.
