2. Lychnophorella blanchetii (Schultz-Bipontinus) Loeuille, Semir & Pirani View in CoL , comb. nov. Lychnophora blanchetii Schultz-Bipontinus (1863: 364) . Type:— BRAZIL. Bahia : ‘Igrezia Velha, Serra Jacobine’, J.S. Blanchet 3396 (lectotype: C e! [C 10022100], designated by Coile & Jones (1981: 540); isolectotypes: B †, BM e! [BM001009193], F e! [F0077151F], G e! [G00300652, G00300653, G00300654, G00300655], GH [GH00009903, GH00009904 (fragment)], K e! [K000069172], LE, MO e! [MO-2218423], NY [NY01239472, NY01239472], P [P00683117, P00683118, P00683119], W e! [W0029029 (fragment), W0029030 (fragment)]).

Distribution and habitat: — Brazil ( Bahia ). Probably in campo rupestre.

Taxonomic Notes: —Known only from two collections. The tessellated stem and the coroniform outer pappus are diagnostic. The species can be confused with Lychnophorella morii and L. triflora , but the pad-like leaf sheaths of these species are less evident, their blades are usually arcuate and their outer pappus is extremely reduced. ‘ Flora 33: 30 (1850) ’ is often cited as the place of publication of Lychnophora blanchetii ; however it is a mere list of plant names without any diagnoses and therefore we consider the protologue published in ‘Jahresber. Pollichia 20–21: 364 (1863)’.
