Abstract: Podostemaceae (angiosperms) occur only in swift river currents. Podostemum flagelliforme is a member of
this family that was originally described by materials collected from the Tocantins River in 1844. The species was known
only from the type collection until 2013, when the authors rediscovered it in the Balsas River (Tocantins), Brazil. The
latter river does not occur in any current conservation unit. It is recommended that the margins of a proposed ecological
corridor (Corredor Ecológico da Região do Jalapão) be adjusted to encompass the only known population of Podostemum
flagelliforme.
