ABSTRACT

A new species of Philcoxia (Plantaginaceae) from Serra do Cachimbo, eastern Amazon, Brazil, is described and discussed.

This is the first record of the genus in the Brazilian Amazon. A morphological description, illustration and photographs, conservation status assessment, an updated identification key for the recognized species of Philcoxia, and comparative taxonomic comments are provided.
