Abstract:—A new species of Dyckia (Pitcairnioideae) is described and illustrated here. Dyckia piauiensis sp. nov. was found in the state of Piauí, in northern Brazil, in very dry Cerrado vegetation and cultivated by the first author. This new species’ closest relative is Dyckia pernambucana, but differs from it by its larger and retrorse spines, shorter inflorescence and floral bracts, rounded or emarginated sepals and by highly connate stamens.

Keywords:—Flora of Brazil, Cerrado, taxonomy
