During the floristic survey of Araceae family in a sedimentary coastal plain in the state of EspĂ­rito Santo, Southeastern Brazil, we found an unknown species with an intriguing combination of intermediate characteristics among Anthurium harrisii, A. intermedium, A. jilekii, A. riodocense and A. zeneidae. We described and illustrated the new species including a comparative analysis of characters that distinguishes it from similar species and have made comments about its ecology, distribution and conservation.
