Abstract

Hyptis is a genus with about 151 species that belongs to subtribe Hyptidinae, a monophyletic and predominantly Neotropical group from Lamiaceae. The genus has gone through a series of taxonomic changes, especially sectional, since the early 19th century. Hyptis sect. Eriosphaeria subsect. Pachyphyllae, recent reestablished as subsection, is composed, until this paper, of four species, all endemic to the Chapada dos Veadeiros region, in Goiás state, Brazil. Here we report a novelty for the subsection.
