	abstract = {<p>The 558 km range extension of the Amazonian aroid Dracontium nivosum (Lem.) G.H.Zhu into semiarid Northeast Brazil is confirmed. This species occurs in Cear\&aacute; in threatened fragments of brejo forest at ca. 580\&ndash;870 m elevation. An illustrated taxonomic description is provided. The species\&rsquo; Extent of Occurrence (EOO) is estimated as 356,392 km2 (meets Least Concern); the Area of Occupancy (AOO), 60 km2 using a 2\&times;2 km cell (Endangered). Within Cear\&aacute; the EOO is 41.4 km2 (Critically Endangered) and the AOO is 16 km2 (Endangered).</p>
