| Abstract | |
In this taxonomic contribution, a new species of Lauraceae, Ocotea grandifructa L. C. S. Assis \& M. F. Santos, from the Brazilian Atlantic forest in Minas Gerais State, is presented. Following the diagnostic criterion for species delimitation, in which a species is delimited by an exclusive feature or an exclusive combination of morphological features, the new species differs from other dioecious species in Ocotea Aubl. by presenting branchlets with rhythmic growth, chartaceous leaf laminas, deciduous perianth at fruit maturity, cupules with a single margin, and large, ovoid fruits.
