The bracts in  P. capitolensis are persistent with the mature capsule (vs. bracts caducous after the flowers open and during the capsule development). The apex of the lateral petal in  P. capitolensis is acute but truncate in the top (vs. rounded apex in  P. paganuccii), whereas the venation pattern in the lateral petals of  P. capitolensis is formed by 3–4 veins arising from the base but not, or just a few, branched distally (vs. single vein from the base of the lateral petal branched distally). Furthermore,  Polygala capitolensis has maculated leaves with yellow glands, which also appears in all other related species, but in  P. capitolensis the glands are bigger and more visible (see Fig. 2).</p><p>Additional Specimens Examined — Brazil. — MINAS GERAIS: Capitolio, Represa de Furnas, estrada para mineradora Gabi Extraç oes ~, 20 35 9 32 99 S, 46 17 9 20 99 W [-20.592, -46.288], 26 May 2006, J.

Figure 8.</p><p>Distribution —  Polygala jardimii occurs in the municipalities of Itacare, Uruçuca, and Ilheus, southern coastal areas of Bahia state, Brazil (Fig. 3). The species was frequently collected in open roadside areas on red-clay soils in the Atlantic Forest biome.</p><p>Etymology —The species is named after Dr. Jomar G. Jardim for his important contributions to the study of the Brazilian flora, especially that of the southern coastal areas of Bahia state.</p><p>Notes —There was little variation in the fertile structures among the examined specimens of this species (Fig. 9).</p><p>By the floral morphology and seed size,  Polygala jardimii is closely related to  P. multiceps (Fig. 4). However, it may be easily distinguished by the leaf shape (wide obovate in  P. jardimii vs. elliptic in  P. multiceps), the apex of the lateral petals (rounded in  P. jardimii vs. acute in  P. multiceps), and the number of lobes in the crest (four in  P. jardimii vs. six in  P. multiceps). Whereas  Polygala jardimii occurs in open areas of the Atlantic Forest in the coastal areas in the south of Bahia state,  Polygala multiceps is frequently found on rocky fields of the campos rupestres vegetation of the Serra do Espinhaço in Minas Gerais state.</p><p>Polyaga jardimii resembles  P. obovata by the asymmetrical fruits, elliptical seeds, and elliptical to obovate leaves. However, it may be easily recognized from this and all other related species by its smaller flowers and fruits (Fig. 4), and</p><p>by the bracts, bracteoles, and external sepals (ciliate in  P. jardimii vs. sparsely ciliate or glabrous in other species).</p><p>Additional Specimens Examined —   Brazil. — BAHIA: Ilheus, estrada de Ilheus para <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-39.056&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-14.565" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -39.056/lat -14.565)">Itacare</a>, entrada a esquerda, 14 33 9 56 99 S, 39 03 9 23 99 W [-14.565, -39.056], 28 Dec 2005, S.F.

Figure 10.</p><p>Distribution —  Polygala paganuccii occurs in rocky fields, often associated with elevations above 1000 m, of the Serra do Espinhaço mountain range, with an apparent disjunction between the municipality of Diamantina in Minas Gerais state and Chapada Diamantina in Bahia state. Nonetheless, one population was found at elevations close to sea level in the coastal zone of the municipalities of Marau and northern Itacare in Bahia state, where  P. paganucci occurred sympatrically with  P. jardimii (Fig. 3).</p><p>Etymology —This species is named after Dr. Luciano Paganucci de Queiroz, a major figure among the Brazilian botanists of today.</p><p>Notes —We found little variation in the fertile structures of the specimens examined for this study (Fig. 11). The species was often misidentified as  Polygala multiceps in the visited herbariums. However, the two species differ in their distribution:  P. paganuccii occurs in rocky fields of the campos rupestres of the Serra do Espinhaço mountain range from Bahia to Minas Gerais, whereas  P. multiceps occurs on sandy soils near river streams and is endemic to southwestern areas of Minas Gerais state, including its Serra da Canastra.</p><p>Additional Specimens Examined —   Brazil. — BAHIA: Abaıra, Chapada  Diamantina, Mata do  Criminoso,  Estrada entre  Catoles e  Abaıra, 22 Feb 1992, B.
