1. Proteopsis argentea Mart. & Zucc. ex Schultz-Bipontinus (1863: 378) View in CoL . Proteopsis argentea Mart. & Zucc. ex Candolle (1836: 16) , nom. nud. pro syn. Vernonia proteopsis Candolle (1836: 16) . Type:— BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Serra de Piedade, C.F.P. von Martius s.n. (365) (holotype: M e! [M0029437]) ( Fig. 40 A–C View FIGURE 40 ).

Distribution and habitat: — Brazil ( Bahia , Minas Gerais, widespread along the Espinhaço Range). Campo rupestre; 750–1500 m.

Taxonomic notes: —A striking species, easily recognized by its silverish lanceolate leaves, phyllaries with spiny appendages, and capitulescence with a long and stout peduncle. Jesus et al. (2001) showed that the genetic diversity among individuals of each local population of this species was similar or higher to the diversity found between proximate populations of distant areas along the Espinhaço. Therefore, they concluded that even though there are local morphological variations, it is not possible to recognize more than a single species here.
