Agauria, which comprises only one species, Agarista salicifolia (Lam.) G.Don, distributed in mountainous regions of Central Africa; and Agarista sect. Agarista, which includes the remaining species and has a broader distribution, spanning the United States, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Brazil, with Brazil exhibiting the highest species richness (Judd 1984). In Brazil, 22 species occur, distributed across all regions of the country, with 20 of them being endemic (Sampaio et al. 2023). The recognition of the genus is based on the presence of a superior ovary, gamopetalous corolla, and stamens with geniculate filaments, exhibiting anthers with nonappendiculate and truncated thecae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D4D904FFE75F37FF17FB3EFE23FEFA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, it can be distinguished from A. pulchella var. cordifolia by the absence of foveolate glands associated with secondary veins. The differentiation between A. coriifolia var. coriifolia and A. subrotunda is even more straightforward, given that A. coriifolia var. coriifolia exhibits leaves with the abaxial surface either glabrous or pubescent only on the midvein, whereas A. subrotunda possesses leaves with a densely tomentose abaxial surface.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D4D904FFE65F30FF17FEE6F897FDCC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pl. 3: 275. 1818.</p><p>Subshrubs to shrubs, occasionally small trees; branches glabrous or with non-glandular or glandular trichomes, generally with frequent glands on the leaves, especially on the abaxial surface. Leaves more frequently alternate, commonly imbricate; petiole more frequently robust; blades chartaceous to coriaceous, flat or conduplicate, margin flat or slightly to strongly revolute, often with apical glands. Inflorescence in panicle or raceme, axillary or subterminal, bracteate at the base of the inflorescence; bract 1, inconspicuous, bracteoles 2. Bisexual flowers, pentamerous, actinomorphic, diplostemonous, pendulous; calyx conical at the base, not fleshy, short lobes, not accrescent to the fruit; corolla gamopetalous, urceolate, tubular, cylindrical or campanulate, white, pink, or red, lobes straight or recurved; stamens 10, equal among themselves, erect, filaments flattened, anthers bifid, dorsifixed in the lower half, with poricidal dehiscence, truncated thecae, devoid of appendage; ovary inferior, pseudo-10-locular, uniovulate locules, filiform style, and truncated stigma. Fruit type drupoid (nuculanium), with 10 pyrenes; fusiform seeds.</p><p>Gaylussacia comprises 54 species (Romão et al. 2017) distributed throughout the Americas in three main zones: 1. Eastern North America, from the southern United States to southern Canada; 2. Northern South America, especially in Colombia and Venezuela; and 3. Eastern Brazil, mainly from the states of Bahia to Paraná (Romão 2011). In Brazil, 43 species are identified, of which 42 are exclusive to the country. Recognition of the genus is relatively straightforward, requiring the combination of shrubby habitat and small, showy, campanulate or variations of this flower shape, along with the presence of an inferior ovary with uniovulate locules, and 10 stamens of equal length with straight filaments.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D4D904FFE25F33FF17F9F0FF9CFBFC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species inhabits diverse biomes, ranging from coastal areas, forests, and savannas to predominantly mountainous regions with rocky outcrops, such as the campos rupestres. The extensive geographical distribution of the species is reflected in its significant morphological variation, often posing challenges in its identification due to overlapping characteristics with other species. Numerous species names and infraespecific taxa are currently synonymized under G. brasiliensis (Romão 2024), necessitating further phylogenetic and population genetic studies for a better understanding of the species delimitation.</p><p>Despite the considerable morphological variability, only two variations are currently recognized for this species: Gaylussacia brasiliensis var. nervosa Meisn., with a restricted distribution in rocky vegetation of the central-eastern Brazil, and the typical variety, distributed throughout the complete range of the species. In the Serras do Lenheiro and São José, only the typical variety occurs, flowering and fruiting for the most part of the year, from May to December. The most similar species in the Serras do Lenheiro and São José is G. pulchra, which possesses glandular trichomes (especially in the calyx), unlike G. brasiliensis, which has only non-glandular trichomes.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D4D904FFE25F3DFCB0FBECFE36F981	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species flowers and bears fruit in the region at least from August to December.</p><p>Gaylussacia chamissonis closely resembles Gaylussacia pallida Cham. in terms of habit, trichome distribution and density, and leaves with capitate glands and strongly revolute margins. This similarity renders the differentiation between the two species a challenging task, especially considering the significant overlap among distinctive characteristics pointed out by Romão (2011). The only nonoverlapping trait between the species, as identified by Romão (2011), is the position of non-glandular trichomes, which are patent in G. chamissonis and not patent in G. pallida (only when considering specimens of G. pallida occurring outside the Serra do Caparaó, between the states of Minas Gerais and EspÍrito Santo). Therefore, further studies are imperative to gain a better understanding of the circumscription between these two species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D4D904FFEC5F3DFF17F95BF8C3FA2B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
