9. Baccharis uleana Malagarriga (1977: 139) . —Type: “Strauch in den Sümpfen der Estive dos Pregos bei Tubarão”. BRAZIL: Santa Catarina, Capivari de Baixo, Banhado da Estiva dos Pregos, November 1889, E. Ule 1510 (holotype P (♀); isotype F! (1520199, ♂ )).

Heering (1904) cited the collection Ule 1510 as a voucher of B. gibertii in Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil. However, B. gibertii is restricted to Rio Grande do Sul State, southernmost Brazil, and Uruguay. Later, Malagarriga (1977) described B. uleana based on the same collection and indicating one specimen in P as holotype. Müller (2010) assigned B. uleana to Baccharis subgen. Baccharis , however he did not cite the voucher specimens seen. Malagarriga’s holotype in P has not been found, however examination of a male isotype found at F, completely in agreement with the type locality and the protologue diagnosis, enables the recognition of this taxon as a distinct species belonging to subgenus Tarchonanthoides .
