Popis: In this paper we report the discovery of Catasetum planiceps, in the Serra da Ibiapaba, as a new and important event for the flora of Ceara, Brazil. The species was recorded growing as a rupicolous herb in vegetation called ‘Macambiral’, which is an area of ‘brejo forest’, in the Serra da Ibiapaba in the municipality of Ipueiras. The vegetation in this area is a mixture of semi-deciduous tropical moist forests and ‘carrasco’ vegetation, forming an important ecotone in the caatinga vegetational domain. Collected material was deposited in the EAC and UFMT herbaria and a sample was sent to the DNA bank of the Laboratorio de Sistematica e Ecologia Molecular de Plantas of the Universidade Federal do Parana (Curitiba, Parana State, Brazil). This new record is of great importance because the type of habitat in which it was registered is very different from that originally described for this species. (© 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
