Descriptions

Crisci (1974a)

Habit

Sub-shrub 40–50 cm tall. Flowers from January to May

Key characteristics

Leaves ovate and lobed; receptacle and corolla pubescent, each flower subtended by pelea (small bracts). In the closely related Leucheria it is a herbaceous perennial or annual, never forming a shrub; the leaves are always sessile (Crisci, 1974a).

Notes

Crisci (1974a) designates a specimen in LP as the Neotype of the species, since the location of the typical material was unknown until then. In 2001 and thanks to the FONDECYT project initiation 11085016 (2008), the Type specimen was found in the SGO herbarium.
