ABSTRACT
The genus Coenogonium, the only genus in the family Coenogoniaceae, is mostly found in tropical and subtropical regions. Approximately 100 species of Coenogonium are known worldwide, and about 52 species have been previously recorded from Brazil. Here, we describe four species as new to science from the Atlantic Forest in the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, and Sergipe, and present a few new state records. The new species are C. carassense, C. itabaianense, C. pilosum, and C. subtomentosum. An annotated checklist of the species of Coenogonium from Brazil is also included.
FUNDING
The costs of the collecting expeditions were partly financed by the Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento – CNPQ (e.g., CNPq-Sisbiota Processo 563342/201-2 and Processo 401186/2014-8) and research grants to MESC (Processos 309058/2015-5 and 307569/2019-5). This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – (CAPES Brasil) – Finance Code 001 who provided a visiting professorship to the first author.
