Etymology: —The specific epithet refers to the habitat in cloud forest thickets amidst high altitude grasslands.
Distribution and habitat:— Baccharis nebularis occurs in southern Brazil (Paraná and Santa Catarina states) and is restricted to the summits of the peaks of the southernmost range of Serra do Mar, at elevations between 1400 and 1700 m a.s.l. (Fig. 4). It grows in patches of moist high altitude tropical grasslands mixed with cloud forest thickets, forming sparse populations, in the buffer zone between the ombrophilous dense forest and the high altitude subtropical highland grasslands of the Atlantic province.
Phenology:— Fertile specimens have been collected from August to late December, with a flowering peak between October and November.
Conservation status: —Near threatened (NT, Heiden & Pirani 2014). It is known to occur in a few non-protected primary areas and seems not to persist in secondary and anthropogenous environments. Some populations along the range of distribution could become locally extinct, while others are recorded from hardly accessible places, out of reach of strong anthropogenic pressure. As habitat quality is decreasing and habitat loss is increasing along its naturally fragmented range, the species should be monitored and the category Vulnerable could be applied in the near future.
Vernacular names: —Unknown.
Comments: — Baccharis nebularis resembles the allopatric B. chionolaenoides due to the densely branched habit with leaves crowded in branch apices. However, B. nebularis is more closely related to the parapatric B. curitybensis . The studied specimens of B. nebularis were previously determined in herbaria as B. curitybensis . The two species have in common similar 3-nerved, entire or dentate leaves, corymbose capitulescences, cup-shaped male and campanulate female capitula, pappus bristles of male florets broadened apically and cypselae covered by twin trichomes, but can be differentiated as shown in the key.

II. Baccharis ser. Colliculatae G. Heiden , ser. nov. Type:— Baccharis patens Baker (1882: 52) .
Differs from all species of Baccharis subgen. Tarchonanthoides by its glabrous cypselae with colliculate surface.
Shoots patent. Leaves sessile, 1-nerved. Capitulescences racemose. Pappus bristles of male florets tortuous apically. Female corollas with a subapical wreath of trichomes. Cypselae 5–7-ribbed, glabrous, colliculate; pappus deciduous, multiseriate.

HEIDEN & PIRANI
Baccharis ser. Colliculatae is assigned to B. sect. Tarchonanthoides due its life form and pappus of female florets not accrescent. The series is characterized by the glabrous cypselae with a colliculate surface, which is unique in the subgenus. The 1-nerved sessile leaves and female corollas with a subapical wreath of trichomes are also unique within B. sect. Tarchonanthoides . Baccharis patens , occurring in subtropical and temperate grasslands from Southern Brazil and Uruguay, was previously placed in B. sect. Canescentes by Giuliano (2005). It is the only known species to be assigned to this series and represents an isolated or relictual lineage.
