Abstract

We report the first occurrence of Encyclia gonzalezii L.C. Menezes (Orchidaceae) from the state of Maranhão and the Northeast Region of Brazil. The species was collected in the Cerrado domain in Estreito, Maranhão. We present a map of the collection site, a morphological description, photographs, ecological comments, a provisional conservation assessment, and an identification key for the species of Encyclia from Maranhão.
