Distribution and habitat

Known from a few mountainous areas of central Chile between the localities of Cerro Tabaco (32°39’S) and Altos de Chicauma (33°11’S). In Altos de Chicauma it inhabits shady, rocky outcrops on south-facing slopes, between elevations of 1200 and 1500 m above sea level. The surrounding vegetation consists of sclerophyllous forest and scrub vegetation with Cryptocarya alba, Porlieria chilensis, Quillaja saponaria and Viviania crenata (García et al. (2018).

Key characteristics

Similar to H. decurrens but differs by having cauline leaves mostly obovate to suborbicular (vs. oblong to oboblong wider than 2.5 cm (vs. 1 or less cm wide), capitula sessile to subsessile (vs. short-pedunculate), and phyllaries recurved with three conspicuous parallel veins abaxially (vs. straight with one conspicuous vein) (García et al. 2018).
