During fieldwork conducted in 2022 in Llano de San Vicente, Putla Villa de Guerrero, and San Isidro Paz y Progreso, Santa María Yucuhiti, Oaxaca, Mexico, we discovered a previously undescribed species of Spathiphyllum . In the present paper, we describe and illustrate S. mixtecorum Díaz Jim. and Perez‐Farr. a new species from Oaxaca, Mexico. The proposed new species is morphologically similar to S. uxpanapense Matuda, but differs from that species in having petioles sheathed to the geniculum, a longer geniculum (up to 4 cm long), usually green spathes at anthesis, longer spadix (up to 5 cm), greater number of ovules per locule (up to four) and up to twice as many seeds per berry.
