Abstract
Schismatoglottis minuta (Araceae) is described as a new species and illustrated based on accessions collected from Samar Island, Philippines. The new species, belonging to the Calyptrata clade sensu Hay and Yuzammi is distinct from previously reported taxa. Due to its habitat preferences and low (<100) estimated number of mature individuals, we recommend that this noteworthy species should be considered as critically endangered.
