comb. nov., a large-spored yeast species endemic to Serra do Mar Atlantic Rainforest biome, Sao Paulo State, Brazil.

Two yeast isolates from passion flowers were sampled in the southern part of the Serra do Mar Atlantic Rainforest in Sao Paulo State, Brazil. Barcode sequencing and mating experiments showed them to be representatives of var. , thus originally named due to the availability of only a single isolate and uncertainties regarding reproductive isolation.
