Publicação on-line; 17 ref.; 2 illus.; Summary (En)
Abstract
We describe and illustrate Paepalanthus magistrae, a remarkable new species of Eriocaulaceae from Nor- theastern Brazil.
The species is placed into Paepalanthus subsect. Dichocladus by the presence of trimerous
flower, elongated dichotomous branched stem, and small rigid leaves. Within the section it may be easily
distinguished by its leaves with glabrescent adaxial surface and lanose abaxial surface. As the species is
narrowly distributed and known from a few populations, it is considered endangered.
Key words: Caatinga, Paepalanthoideae, Serra das Confusões National Park, taxonomy
