Distribution and habitat: — Brazil ( Bahia , Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro). Secondary woods, gallery forest margins, less frequently in campo rupestre and rarely in cerrado; 550–1850 m.

Taxonomic notes: —A widespread species in eastern Brazil, easily recognized by its paniculate inflorescences, 3–5-flowered capitula and reddish pappus. Distantly related from Eremanthus , its habit is similar to Gorceixia , and both taxa share stellate trichomes with a long stalk. However, in the phylogenetic analyses, it emerged as a sister-group of a clade comprising nearly all Lychnophorinae except the basal lineages Albertinia , Blanchetia , Centratherum and Gorceixia . Also similar to some species of Piptocoma Cassini (1817a: 10) , a genus presently placed in the subtribe Piptocarphinae Robinson et al. (1980: 426) , but whose phylogenetic position is unknown. It is noteworthy that furanoheliangolides (a synapomorphy of Lychnophorinae : Loeuille et al. 2015b) have been extracted from leaves of Piptocoma ( Castro 1989) .

Lychnophora brunioides ’ group

Lychnophora brunioides , L. harleyi Robinson (1983: 374) and L. souzae have a similar obtriangulate leaf sheath, suggesting that these species are probably related. None of these species have been included in a phylogenetic analysis so far, and we shall expect that doing so would clarify the taxonomic position of these taxa. Further comments are given under each species.
