Calea bahiensis (Mattfeld) Robinson (1975: 428) ≡ Geissopappus bahiensis Mattfeld (1925: 390)

Protologue:—“ Bahia , Rio de Contas: Casa de Pedra, Campo, P.H.V. Luetzelburg 1, vii 1913 ”.

Holotype:— BRAZIL. Bahia : Rio das Contas, Casa de Pedra , 1919, P. V. Luetzelburg 1 ( M [ M0030094 ], digital image!).

Note:—The type specimen collection date indicated in the protologue is July 1913. The year of 1925 written on the specimen’s label may be a later annotation referring to the publication year, since Luetzelburg would have gone to Germany in 1924 and returned to Brazil only in 1927 ( Paiva 2003). According to Paiva (2003), Luetzelburg was in Bahia only in 1919, therefore this year is indicated here as the most accurate collection date.

Roque & Carvalho (2011) proposed that C. bahiensis is a synonym of C. candolleana . Here we follow the concepts of Pruski (2013) and Reis-Silva et al. (2024) who accepted this name. It is the only species of C. ser. Candolleanae endemic to Bahia ( Fig. 2 ) ( Reis-Silva et al. 2024).
