A New Combination and a New Species of Andean Mutisieae (Asteraceae) (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

The paper introduces a reclassification within the Asteraceae family, specifically within the genus Gochnatia, by proposing a new combination, Chucoa lanceolata, based on its type collection from Peru, and describing a new species, Gochnatia angustifolia, derived from its paratype found in Bolivia. Detailed morphological analyses distinguish these two taxa, highlighting significant differences in leaf structure, anther appendages, and pollen characteristics, which substantiates their classification into different genera.
