Leaves and flowering stems congested at the apex of the horizontal, often curved underground rhizome. Leaves ensiform, 41.5–54 × +2–2.5 cm +, often bright green, rarely dull green. Leaves and flowering stems similar in color but different in height (flowering stems 68.5–87 × +0.9–1 cm +always taller, often twice the length of leaves), width (leaf blades about twice the width of flowering stems peduncle) and posture (mature leaves always erect in the basal part with the apical half curved while flowering stems are entirely erect, sometimes with the first bract curved). Peduncle winged, +55–81 cm +long, with conspicuous central midrib. First bract as a continuation of the peduncle, 6.5–26 × +1–3 cm +, similar to the apex of the leaves. Leaves and first bract with thin and slightly prominent midrib. Second bract much smaller than first bract, 3–6.5 × +0.5–1.3 cm +, erect to subpatent, navicular, with small to medium-sized winged projection and always subtended by a conspicuous rachis internode (3–6 × +0.3–0.7 cm +). Third bract often inconspicuous, when conspicuous, with about half size of the second bract, navicular, often without a wing, and subtended by a second conspicuous rachis internode (ca. 4–5 × +0.4–0.6 cm +). Fourth bract always inconspicuous. Rhipidia 1–3(–4) per flowering stem, 4.5–6 × +0.5–0.6 cm +, always on a +4–5 cm +long stalk (infra-rhipidial raquis internode), giving the inflorescence a lax appearance, with two external opposed invaginated leathery bract-like spatha enclosing the flower buds and membranous bracteoles. Flowers ca. +7–8 cm +in diameter, predominantly ivory colored, with the basal third of all tepals slightly yellowish and covered by brown irregular stripes, mostly transversally orientated; outer tepals, 4–4.6 × +2–2.6 cm +, patent to recurved, elliptic to wide-elliptic, with apical two-thirds ivory colored; inner tepals, 2.8–3.2 × +1.1–1.2 cm +, erect, nearly sigmoid, with the basal part radiate, the middle part erect and the apical part revolute, with two intensely yellow, parallel, elongated streaks at the base of the revolute apex; apical third with margins completely white and center white with sparse purple, diagonal, stripes directed towards the margins and with a purple stripe directed towards the apex, which sometimes is light violet colored above the stripe. Reproductive column ca. +2–2.2 cm +long; stamens ca. +1.2–1.5 cm +long, anthers ca. +0.7–0.9 cm +long; filaments (brown at the base), anthers and connectives yellowish, with the anthers lighter colored; styles brown at the base and cream to white above; stigmatic crests white, subfalcate, margin entire, apex filiform; both lateral crests measure about a third of the reproductive column (ca. +0.6–0.8 cm +long); the central crest measures about more than half to a third of the length of the lateral ones (ca. +0.2–0.4 cm +long), apex erect to patent, sometimes curved within the two lateral crests; ovary ca. +1.4 cm +long, fruit (immature) ca. 4 × +1.6 cm +, subcircular to subtrigonous in cross-section, 6-sulcate, surface smooth. + + + + +Distribution and Habitat: +—Known only from the state of +Bahia +(northeastern +Brazil +) in the neighboring municipalities of Feira de Santana and Anguera in the northeastern region of the state. + +N. eburnea + +is found growing on stony ground in the understory of remnants of seasonally dry tropical forest.

(2003: 135) + +from +Ceará +and +Pernambuco +states, Northeastern +Brazil +. It essentially differs from the first, by the second bract being always subtended by a conspicuous rachis internode (vs. second bract subsessile), rhipidia long-stalked, with a long rachis internode between the bracts and rhipidial spathes, giving a lax appearance to the inflorescence (vs. rhipidia subsessile to short-stalked, with a short rachis internode between the bracts and rhipidial spathes, giving a congested appearance to inflorescence) (see +Figs. 2 +, +6 +). Furthermore, + +N. eburnea + +differs from + +N. portosecurensis + +by its inner tepals apical third with margins completely white and center white with sparse purple, diagonal, stripes directed towards the margins and with a purple stripe directed towards the apex, which sometimes is colored by light violet above the stripe (vs. inner tepals apical third with whitish margins, densely covered with diagonal, sublinear, blue to violet stripes, and center with a diffuse blue to violet macula or sometimes the whole central part completely colored by blue or violet, and with a large blue to purplish subtriangular apical macula) (see +Figs. 2 +, +6 +).
