Summary

A new purple-flowered discoid Calea (Compositae: Heliantheae: Neurolaeninae), Calea woodii (Calea sect. Meyeria (DC.) Benth. & Hook. f.), is described and illustrated from the Serranía de Cochís and the Serranía de Santa Bárbara, Chiquitos, Department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. The relationship of this species is discussed and a key to the purple-flowered species of Calea sect. Meyeria is provided. The Brazilian C. purpurea G. M. Barroso, is lectotypified together with the Bidens edentula G. M. Barroso, C. nervosa G. M. Barroso, and Ichthyothere pruinosa G. M. Barroso (= I. connata S. F. Blake).

Acknowledgements

The authors would like to thank John Wood for extremely useful discussions on the habitat of the new species, the distribution patterns of this and Calea dalyi, for being such an amiable host during our last two joint expeditions in Bolivia — and in providing the Latin translation of the diagnosis. We would also like to thank Daniel Soto and Daniel Villarroel, who were team members on the expedition to Santiago de Chiquitos. The presence of DJNH in the field on the 2008 trip was largely funded through John Wood’s Darwin Initiative project ‘Conservation of the cerrados of Eastern Bolivia’ (http://www.darwincerradosdebolivia.org). DJNH would also like to thank Dra Rafaela Campostrini Forzza for hosting his recent study visit to RB and in providing us with an image of the type of C. purpurea, Sra Paula Leitman in providing images of the type material of Bidens edentula, C. irwinii and C. nervosa in RB, and Dr Roberto Esteves (IBRAG/DBV/UERJ) in checking whether type material of C. nervosa was present in R. The authors would also like to thank Margaret Tebbs for the illustration, and two anonymous referees for their useful comments on improving the original script.
