Monoclea Hook.

This genus comprises two species, Monoclea gottschei Lindb. and M. forsteri Hook. , of which the latter occurs in New Zealand ( Gradstein and Costa 2003; Söderström et al. 2016). Until now, M. gottschei had been recorded in the North, Northeast, Ssoutheast, and South regions of Brazil, in the Amazonia, Atlantic Forest, and Pampas

biomes ( Flora do Brasil 2020). Our new records are the first of the genus from the Brazilian Cerrado biome and Maranhão state.
