Abstract
Cyrtosperma prasinispathum A.S.D.Irsyam & M.R.Hariri is a newly described species of Lasioid discovered in Sorong, Southwest Papua Province, Indonesia. This new species is exclusively described from living specimens that are kept at the Bogor Botanic Gardens. Morphologically, it has a glossy leek-green spathe that is deflected, with a yellowish-green or yellow spadix. Its striking-colored spathe made this species an important candidate for horticultural plants.
