EUVE J2056-17.1 is one of the brightest sources in the First EUVE Source Catalog with 0.24 counts s−1 in the Deep Survey Lexan/B band. We present optical and EUV results that show this source is one of the most active late-type dwarfs. EUVE observed a large flare with energy in excess of 1035 ergs in its Lexan/B band. The quiescent optical spectrum of the source reveals strong hydrogen Balmer and Ca II H and K emission. A strong Li I 6707 Å line is also present in the spectrum. We have estimated a Li abundance of log N(Li) = 2.5±0.4. The high Li abundance and the high flare activity favors an interpretation where the enhanced Li is sustained by spallation reactions.
