Abstract
A new species of Solanum L. belonging to subgenus Leptostemonum (Dunal) Bitter section Acanthophora Dunal (Solanaceae) is described and illustrated from the Distrito Federal in central Brazil. Solanum savannarum Ribeiro-Silva & Proenca is a small, spindly herb or subshrub with spiny stems and petioles, weakly lobed leaves, pentamerous or tetramerous nodding white flowers with revolute sepals and petals, green attenuate anthers, pale green fruits mottled with dark green, each with ca. 11 seeds. The species is apparently endemic to highland savanna woodlands (cerrado) in the Brazilian states of the Distrito Federal, Goias, and western Minas Gerais.
