1. Introduction

In this work we present spectroscopic observations of the emission line star SPH 2, first recognized as an H emission object after a objective prism survey of Schwartz et al., 1990. The equatorial coordinates of SPH 2 are (1950.0) = 07^h 18^m and (1950.0) = . Finding chart is found in Schwartz et al. (1990). This star was discovered as a new nitrogen Wolf-Rayet (WN) star in the framework of the spectroscopy survey of some H emission line objects in the southern hemisphere. This survey aims to analyze and classify emission-line stars not yet spectroscopically observed. The V magnitude was derived convolving the calibrated spectra with a V filter profile, giving 15.0.
