Introduction: A new tree species (4-15 m tall) Forestiera isabelae Hammel & Cornejo, known from one small population near Montezuma on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica, is described. As a lowland coastal species with petals and relatively large leaves and fruits (9-17×4-6 cm and 15-20 mm, respectively), it is easily distinguished from the two other Costa Rican species, both apetalous and from higher elevation.

Distribution: Native to Costa Rica.
