Summary

New morphological, ecological and geographical data support the recognition of Campylocentrum brevifolium as a distinct species. This study aims to provide a nomenclatural update including a new combination and typifications, discuss its morphological affinities to allied Brazilian species (C. crassirhizum, C. micranthum and C. pauloense), and provide the conservation status of the threatened species. It also includes descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps and an identification key.
