Sapranthus isae is described and illustrated. This new species differs from its congeners by its fragrant flowers and the black elliptic bodies present on the base of the internal petals. The new species is only known from rocky outcrops in northern Colombia (Cesar Deparment, municipality of Curumaní), surrounded by swampy areas.

Keywords : Sapranthus; Flora of Colombia; Annonaceae; Cesar Department; municipality Curumaní.
