During a field expedition in the Reserva Biol\ógica da Mata Escura, an enclave of Atlantic Rainforest in Minas Gerais State, Southeastern Brazil, a remarkable new species of Philodendron was found. Here the new species is described, illustrated and compared to morphologically close species.

Abstract The state of Esp\írito Santo is located in Southeastern Brazil and occupies 45,597 km\² within the Atlantic Forest domain. The flora of the state is still in progress, and families such as the Araceae represent groups that have not yet been representatively sampled. Sampling efforts in the Southern areas of the state revealed the existence of a new species of Anthurium, related to A. cleistanthum, A. truncatum and A. molle. Here, we describe and illustrate this species and present a comparative analysis with the most similar species. To date, the species is known only from the type locality, occurring in forests that cover limestone outcrops.

Anthurium idimae is described from Esp\írito Santo and Rio de Janeiro states, in Southeastern Brazil. During the floristic survey of Araceae family in the Atlantic Forest, we found an unknown species with an intriguing combination of intermediate characteristics among A. cleistanthum, A. truncatum, A. molle, and A. cachoeirense. We described and illustrated the new species, including a comparative analysis of characters that distinguishes it from similar species, and also provide comments about its ecology, distribution and conservation.
