ResumoMicrolicia woodii is described as a new species from the Meseta de Motacú, Santiago de Chiquitos, eastern Bolivia, a region rich in endemic plants. The new species seems to be closely related to Microlicia sphagnicola, and can be recognized by a combination of elliptic leaf blades 8–10 × 3.2–5 mm, glandular-punctate on both surfaces, petioles 0.2–0.4 mm long, rectangular and dorso-ventrally flattened, solitary 5–6-merous flowers, external and internal intercalycine eglandular trichomes ca. 1–2 mm long, pink petals, and dimorphic, bicolored and polysporangiate anthers. Line drawings, photographs, a distribution map, and notes on its conservation status are provided. Additionally, we designate a lectotype for Microlicia insignis and document the first records for this species in Bolivia, at Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado.
