%X A new species of <i>Freycinetia</i> Gaud. (Pandanaceae; Freycinetoideae) from Siberut Island, off the western coast of Sumatra, is described as <i>Freycinetia siberutensis</i> A.P. Keim, Witono, O. Efendy, R.H.B. Setiarto, H.I.P. Utaminingrum, and L.A. Bakti. This species is characterized by its racemose infructescence, narrow lanceolate leaves with serrulate margins, and slender axillary spikes bearing densely arranged berries. The discovery of <i>F. siberutensis</i> adds to the floristic uniqueness of the Mentawai Islands and provides new insights into the diversification of <i>Freycinetia</i> in western Malesia.
