Abstract
Updates on Dilleniaceae from the Brazilian flora are presented from bibliographic databases and herbaria collections. A new species Davilla lanosa Fraga & Stehmann is described morphologically and illustrated and its affinities to other species of the genus are discussed. The new species is known from two localities in Rondônia and one in southwestern Amazonas, Brazil. A new combination and new status for Doliocarpus littoralis (Kubitzki) Fraga & Stehmann is also proposed that assumes a specific level to be segregated from Doliocarpus major J. F. Gmel. The occurrence of Neodillenia peruviana Aymar is reported and commented on for Brazil.
