Zusammenfassung:Myriopus eulinae (Heliotropiaceae), a new species from northeastern Brazil and associated with the Caatinga, Atlantic Forest, and Caatinga-Cerrado transition phytogeographic domain, is described and illustrated. The species can be morphologically recognized by its discolored leaf blade, lax inflorescences, and strigose to hirsute fruits. We discuss its habitat, flowering and fruiting, taxonomic affinities, distribution, and conservation status.
