Agarista (Ericaceae) is a Neotropical genus of subshrubs, shrubs and trees in Ericaceae, highly associated with tropical mountainous environments, especially the Campos Rupestres Cerrado domain Espinhaço Range, southeast Brazil. The comprises 35 species six varieties. Minas Gerais state hosts high richness genus, comprising 16 species, eight them endemic. Here we indicate two partially geographically overlapping morphologically characterized varieties, separable primarily by indumentum on...
Staurochlamys is a monospecific genus found exclusively in the Brazilian Cerrado, recognized by unique morphological trait Asteraceae: flattened involucre. Prior research into this has been limited, and paper represents first comprehensive investigation dedicated to it. This study presents thorough description of species, nomenclatural revision, insights species distribution, phenology, preliminary evaluation extinction risk, details related risk assessment, distribution modelling....
Five names are typified here as a first step towards the floristic and taxonomic study of Ericaceae in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, revision Agarista. We reviewed protologues, type specimens (including digital images), negative photos at F from lost originally deposited B. Lectotypes designated for Andromeda chlorantha, A. serrulata, eucalyptoides, multiflora, nummularia. These lectotypes duplicates conserved herbaria E, F, HAL, G, GH, L, M, NY, S, W. Additionally, epitypes also Agarista...
Thirteen names of Agarista are here typified as part the genus taxonomic revision. We studied protologues, type specimens, digital images, negative photos at F from lost specimens originally deposited B, and additional publications. Lectotypes designated for angustissima, Ag. ericoides, pulchella, pulchra, Andromeda neriifolia, An. oleifolia, pistrix, revoluta, Leucothoë ambigua var. longifolia, L. parvifolia, peduncularis, rivularis. Additionally, a neotypification is proposed name...
This study presents a taxonomic review of the native species Ericaceae in Rio Grande do Sul state, Southern Brazil, providing identification keys, synonymy, morphological descriptions, and specimen photograph plates, besides maps geographic distributions lists studied specimens to assist conservation. We made literature reviews, collecting expeditions, reviewed 14 Brazilian herbaria, plus an additional 17 online herbaria. confirmed occurrence three genera, 10 species, 11 taxa, including new...
