Abstract
In this work, we describe a new species of Ayenia (Malvaceae, Byttnerioideae). Ayenia albiflora sp. nov. is known from the Cerrado areas of southern Goiás, Central‐West Brazil. It can be distinguished from its relatives by its outlying white bisexual flowers and leaves with irregular dentate margin with obovate to subelliptic shape. A distribution map with known occurrence records, as well as comments on the ecology, morphological features and phenology of the species are provided. Moreover, we present an updated identification key of Ayenia species from Central‐West Brazil, distinguishing A. albiflora from its congeners.
