| Abstract: | During a floristic survey of the family Araceae in a sedimentary coastal plain in the state of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil, we found an unknown species with an intriguing combination of characteristics intermediate among Anthurium harrisii, A. intermedium, A. jilekii, A. riodocense and A. zeneidae. Herein, we describe and illustrate this novelity as Anthurium viridivinosum with a comparative analysis of characters that distinguishes it from similar species, and comments about its ecology, distribution and conservation. |
