Abstract

A new genus and species of the tribe Vernonieae (Asteraceae) from the cerrado and campo rupestre vegetation of Minas Gerais (Brazil) is described and illustrated. The new taxon, Vinicia tomentosa Dematt. is closely related to Chronopappus DC. and Lychnophora Mart., but differs in having pedunculate glomerules and the narrowly cylindrical involucre. The other two genera always have sessile glomerules and the involucre is turbinate to cylindrical in Lychnophora and ovoid in Chronopappus.
