(A revision of Scaphispatha (Araceae \– Caladieae) including a new species) The formerly considered monospecific genus Scaphispatha (Araceae \– Caladieae) is here revised. Scaphispatha robusta E.G.Gon\ç, a second species for the genus is newly described from the Cerrado Biome and the transition Cerrado-Amazonia. It differs from S. gracilis Brongn. ex Schott by the much more robust petioles and leaves, primary lateral veins drying clearer than the lamina, lateral secondary veins conspicously more prominent than tertiary veins and for the female spadix with 11-15 rows of flowers visible in side view. A key to separate both species is provided, as well as ink illustrations and general remarks on the genus.

The species originally described as Caladium poecile Schott (Araceae) is here proposed as belonging to the genus Xanthosoma, as X. poecile (Schott) E.G. Gon\ç.. This new combination is based on pollen grains (shed in tetrads), together with molecular results. This is the third species of Xanthosoma known to have peltate leaves.

Three new species of Xanthosoma (X. anisotomum E.G.Gonc., X. pedatisectum E.G.Gonc. and X. rubrispathum E.G.Gonc.) and two new species of Caladium (C. intermedium E.G.Gonc. and C. amazonicum E.G.Gonc.) are described. These new species are all illustrated and compared to their closest relatives. Caladium intermedium is noteworthy in appearing intermediate between Caladium and Scaphispatha, turning the boundaries between both genera rather complex.
