Discospermum reyesii Arriola, Valdez & Alejandro (Coffeeae, Rubiaceae) is described and illustrated from Mt. Lantoy in the forested regions of Cebu, Philippines. It closely resembles D. whitfordii by having similar leaf blades, leaf apices and non-ribbed fruits, but differs from it by having smaller fruits (1.0–1.2 cm vs. 2.0–2.7 cm), smaller seeds 1–1.4 × 1.5–2.5 mm (vs. 5–6.5 × 5–6.5(7) mm) and fewer seeds per locule 4–6 (vs. 5–12).
