Hedyotis papafranciscoi, a new endemic species from Mt. Madja-as, Antique, Philippines, is here described and illustrated. The specific epithet was coined in honor of Pope Francis. This endangered species is vegetatively closely related to H. microphylla but differs in its strictly axillary, non-pedunculate, single-flowered inflorescences present in almost every leaf axil, and sessile flowers with purple calyx lobes.
