A new species of the genus Thismia (Burmanniaceae), T. mullerensis, is described and illustrated from Muller Range, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. It appears to belong to sect. Euthismia Schltr. (sect. Thismia) in having inner perianth free, spreading and roots vermiform, creeping, and to subsect. Odoardoa Schltr., having perianth lobes equal in length and size. It most resembles T. alba that was collected in 1930 from Malay Peninsula and T. lauriana reported from Central Kalimantan in 1996, but differs in flower structure and color. This species is the third species of the genus Thismia reported from Central Kalimantan.
