Summary Menezes, N. L. de & Semir, J.: Burlemarxia , a new genus of Velloziaceae. ‐ Taxon 40: 413–426. 1991. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262. A new genus of Velloziaceae is established comprising three species. Two are newly described, Burlemarxia rodriguesii and B. pungens , while the third, B. spiralis , had previously been assigned to Barbacenia.
