Abstrakt: We describe a new species of Cordiaceae, Varronia elsieae T.S. Silva, J.I.M. Melo & I.L. Morais. This species is currently known from Cerrado vegetation of midwestern and southeastern Brazil in the states of Goiás and Minas Gerais. It can be recognized mainly by leaves with elliptical blades, tomentose branches, inflorescences that are clavate or short-cylindrical and never paniculate, and flowers with a calyx that is completely tomentose outside, with an acuminate apex on the calyx lobes, and trichomes on the corolla. A distribution map with known occurrence records as well as comments on the ecology, morphological diagnostic features, and phenology of the species are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
