A new species of Dorstenia (Moraceae) from southeastern BrazilDOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.12.2772 Keywords: Atlantic forest , Mantiqueira , Pindamonhangaba Abstract: Dorstenia stellaris is a new species from southeastern Brazil. This species is endemic to the region and differs from the others by its star shaped coenanthium and cordiform leaves. A description and illustration of this species is presented here. Dorstenia stellaris is found in moist and shady places, in small populations within the type locality, thus we recommend its inclusion in the endangered (EN) status of conservation.
