N2 - A new legume species from Southeastern Brazil, Poecilanthe fluminensis, is described and illustrated. It is readily distinguished from the remaining species of the genus by a combination of exclusively unifoliolate leaves with very short petioles (5-9 mm long), red calyx, and strongly dimorphic anthers (short anthers less than 3/4 of the length of the longer ones). The new species, P. fluminensis, appears to be endemic to Rio de Janeiro State, Southeastern Brazil.
