The state of Bahia has one of the least known and most interesting floras in Brazil. Since the visits of several European botanists in the last century, the flora of interior Bahia, especially the northern part, has remained largely uncollected and unstudied. Thus it is good news indeed that Dr. Raymond M. Harley of Kew has successfully taken two botanical expeditions into Bahia in the last four years. Among the Malpighiaceae Dr. Harley has sent for my study have been several new to science; the most interesting of them is described here as a new genus and species.
