Abstract

A new species of Portulacaceae from the Amazonian savannas of northern Brazil is herein described and illustrated. Portulaca eggliana is morphologically related to P . umbraticola , but differs in the number of involucral leaves, sepal morphology, bracteole shape, and seed surface. Photographs, a line drawing, and notes on taxonomy, phenology, distribution, habitat, conservation status and etymology are also provided.
