New records of Rapateaceae from Brazil

This paper presents five new additions of Rapateaceae to the Brazilian flora from Monte Caburaí, a low-altitude tepui in Roraima state. One species of Epidryos Maguire, another of Rapatea Aubl., and three species of Stegolepis Klotzsch ex Körn were recorded. Epidryos is cited for the first time for the Brazilian flora. Brief descriptions, illustrations, geographic distribution and habitat data as well as comments on taxonomic affinities of the species are presented.
