Selected specimens examined — BRASIL. Paraná: Tomazina, Guaviroval, 02 September 1998, G. Hatschbach 68293 (CTES). Antonina, Reserva Biológica de Sapintanduva , 15 May 1981 G. Hatschbach 43889 (MBM).

Distribution and habitat —In the study region, Lepidaploa salzmannii was found only in the state of Parana, Brazil. According to Dematteis & Cabrera (2009), this species also occurs in the department of Alto Paraguay, Paraguay. It grows on forest margins or under canopy in the Atlantic Rainforest ( Figure 20 View FIGURE 20 ).

Phenology —The species was found in flower in May and September.

Notes —This species is morphologically similar to L. chamissonis because of the following common characters: leaves lanceolate, petioles 3–4 mm long, cypselae setose-glandular with idioblasts. See comments under L. chamissonis .
