4. Chuquiraga Jussieu (1789: 178) View in CoL

Type: — Chuquiraga jussieui J.F. Gmel.

Shrubs or dwarf cushion-forming shrubs, up to 2 m tall. Stems erect, much-branched, without lenticels, cylindrical, rarely scales imbricate at base, glabrous, tomentose, strigose, villous, sericeous, unarmed or with axillary spines in pairs or fascicles, straight, convergent or divergent, glabrous, villous or pubescent at base and becoming glabrous towards the apex. Leaves alternate or opposite, sessile or subsessile, persistent or deciduous, blade acicular, linear, or ovate, coriaceous, pale or commonly lustrous, glabrous to densely sericeous on both surfaces, base acute or obtuse, margin flat or involute, glabrous or ciliate, apex mucronate or spiny; venation hyphodromous or actinodromous with 3 basal supra-basal nerves. Capitulescence terminal, monocephalous. Capitula 5–100-flowered, homogamous, discoid, sessile, involucre cylindrical, turbinate or campanulate, 4–14-seriate, phyllaries scarious or commonly coriaceous, green, brownish, yellow to orange, erect or reflexed, glabrous to densely sericeous, triangular-ovate to lanceolate, apex mucronate or spiny, margin flat or reflexed, glabrous or ciliate. Receptacle flat, pilose. Flowers isomorphic, bisexual, tubular (5+0), 5-lobed often unequal and deep incisions between lobes, yellow, orange, villous. Anthers 5, apical appendage lanceolate, obtuse or acute, basal appendage rounded or acute, caudate, calcarate or ecalcarate, inserted at the base of the corolla, filaments free, glabrous. Style cylindrical, yellow to orange. Cypselae turbinate, densely villous. Pappus plumose, shorter than or equal to corolla length, bristles whitish. Pollen without intercolpar depressions, microechinate (Suessy & Urtubey 2007). Chromosome number = 24–27 ( Diers 1961, Wulff 1990).

Distribution and habitat: — Chuquiraga is the second largest genus of Barnadesioideae , comprising 22 species ( Ezcurra 1985, Harling 1991, Sagástegui & Sánchez 1991, Granda 1997). The species are found in the Andes and Patagonia, from Colombia to Argentina, in the Páramos (alpine meadows), in the Puna (Highlands and steppe), and open woodlands. Some species can be found at 4,200 m. a.s.l, but there are also records in lowland Puna near sea level.

Notes: —Species of Chuquiraga contain several medicinal properties commonly used into the phytopharmaceutical industry and commercialized by European countries. In addition, Chuquiraga is largely commercialized in some medicinal marketplaces in Peru and Ecuador and it is indicated for the treatment of several conditions (Ccana- Ccapatinta et al. 2018).

The species of Chuquiraga are classified into two sections (following Ezcurra 1985): Chuquiraga sect. Acanthophylla , comprising nine species distributed from northwest Bolivia to Chile and Argentina ( Fig. 5a, b View FIGURE 5 ) and characterized by leaves with the margin involute, naviculate or cymbiform ( Fig. 5b View FIGURE 5 ), abaxial surface without the prominent midvein, and absence of axillary spines; and Chuquiraga sect. Chuquiraga , the most species-rich in the genus, comprising 13 species distributed from Colombia to Argentina ( Fig. 5 c–e View FIGURE 5 ) and characterized by flat leaves, the abaxial surface with prominent midvein and by the presence of axillary spines, rarely reduced or absent. Within the Chuquiraga section Chuquiraga , two series are recognized: Chuquiraga and Parviflorae , distinguished by the length of capitula (> 3cm vs. 0–3cm), corolla (> 17mm vs. <16mm) and anthers (15–20mm vs. 8–12mm), and by the geographical distribution (from Colombia to northwest Argentina vs. western Bolivia to Argentinean Patagonia).

The great morphological variation in habit, leaf shape, venation, trichomes, spines, involucre shape, size, bract colors, and others, makes Chuquiraga the most taxonomically complex group of Barnadesioideae . After analyzing hundreds of specimens and other material from this genus, we decided to follow the corolla classification sensu Ezcurra (1985), and do not use the classification sensu Suessy & Urtubey (2006). Although the study by Stuessy & Urtubey (2006) represents a significant step towards understanding corolla evolution in Barnadesioideae , in Chuquiraga it is difficult to apply a corolla classification, since this genus has different lengths of corolla incisions splitting the lobes. Therefore, we prefer to classify the corolla as tubular with different incision lengths (see Sagástegui & Sánchez 1991, Figure 1.I; for the corolla line drawing).

The most comprehensive phylogeny at species-level for Chuquiraga was performed based on molecular data by Padin et al. (2015b). The results were incongruent regarding the monophyly of the genus in relation to the position of Doniophyton or Duseniella . Within the genus, the sections were found to be monophyletic, but the results do not corroborate the series of Chuquiraga sect. Chuquiraga , a finding that was also corroborated by phylogenomic studies (Ferreira et al. in prep.). Further taxonomical and morphological studies are therefore needed in order to propose a new classification and species circumscription.
