Distribution and habitat. – Crumenaria glaziovii grows in grazing areas of the states of Goiás and Minas Geráis of Brazil (de LIMA, 2010), at elevations from 600 to 1050 m.

Phenology. – Crumenaria glaziovii flowers in October and November.

Etymology. – Crumenaria glaziovii was named in honor of Auguste François Marie Glaziou (1828-1906), a French botanist and landscape designer, who collected the type specimen.

Discussion. – Crumenaria glaziovii is related to C. decumbens with which it shares axillary inflorescences and slender stems, but differs in its perennial habit.

The holotype at B (negative at F [barcode] F0 BN005861 digital image!) was destroyed during World War II; we choose the isotype at BR as lectotype which matches the diagnostic characters.
