Leaves opposite, petiole 0.7‒3 cm long; blade 3.1‒9.2 × 3.1‒6.5 cm, membranaceous, ovate, wide-ovate or oval-lanceolate, apex acute, base truncate, decurrent along the petiole, margin serrate, ciliate, adaxial surface sparsely pubescent, abaxial surface pubescent, uncinate trichomes, rarely glandular pedicellate trichomes along the veins, margin serrate, ciliate. Inflorescences 5‒ 14 cm long, peduncle 1.5‒3 cm long, puberulous, uncinate trichomes, rarely glandular pedicellate trichomes; bracts 1.4‒1.8 mm long, lanceolate, abaxial surface sparsely hirsute, margin ciliate; calyx 2‒3.5 mm long, campanulate, densely hirsute, uncinate trichomes; corolla 3‒4 mm long, white or lilac. Fruit ca. 2 mm long, echinate along the edges, surrounded by the persistent and inflated calyx.

Distribution and habitat:— Priva lappulacea is distributed from the United States to Argentina ( Kobuski 1926, Moldenke 1936). In Brazil, it is widely distributed throughout the regions North, Northeast, Center-West, and Southeast, and is considered a ruderal species (Moro et al. 2012, Cardoso & Salimena 2020b). In Espírito Santo, it was found in seasonal semi-deciduous forest and restinga, and often occurs in disturbed areas. Not found in SPAs in this state.

Phenology:— Collected with flowers in April, September, and with fruits in April, May, September, and December.

Preliminary conservation assessment: —This is a common species (ruderal), presents wide distribution ( Moldenke 1936, Moro et al. 2012), and occurs inside PAs in South America. Considered “Least Concern” (LC) ( IUCN 2019).
