Baccharis riograndensis Malag. Vidal, an endemic species from Rio Grande do Sul in southern
J.E. State,
was by monk name
Brazil, described Malagarriga (1949, under his Irmao Teodoro Luis) based on two
speci-
mens
collected by Vidal (syntypes) and two collections (paratypes) made by Malagarriga
himself. After
J.E.
the publication, accounts of this species appeared in the taxonomic literature several times (Malagarriga
1957, 1958, 1977; Barroso 1976; Diesel 1987; and Oliveira 2007), but no was made.
