This is a taxonomic study of the species of Linderniaceae from the cangas of the Serra dos Carajás, state of Pará, Brazil. Three species of Lindernia were recorded: L. brachyphylla, L. crustacea and L. diffusa, the first being restricted to South America and the two others with pantropical distribution. Here we present detailed descriptions, illustrations, photographs and notes on morphology, distribution and phenology of these species. Key words: Canga, FLONA Carajás, Scrophulariaceae, taxonomy.

“…The genus Lindernia is widely distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics of both the Old and New World, with its centre of distribution in tropical Asia (Philcox 1968). It is closely related to Torenia (Philcox 1968), and has been divided into nine or more sections including as many as 100 species (Lewis 2000). The first revision of Lindernia was made by Philcox (1968), who recognized 24 species in the Malesian region.…”

Lindernia kinmenensis Y. S. Liang, C. H. Chen, & C. L. Tasi sp. nov. from Kinmen (Taiwan) is described. The new species belongs to section Torenioides and is most similar to L. crustacea. It differs from the latter by the following characters: calyx pubescent between the ridges (vs pubescent on ridges), with (2) 3(4) bristles on the ridge near the apex of the calyx-lobes (vs without such bristles), corolla shorter, 6-8 mm long (vs 7-11 mm long) and pale purple (vs purple or blue), posterior theca with obtuse (vs acute) apex. This species is usually found in sandy wetlands. A line drawing, colour photos and SEM micrographs of pollen and seed as aids for identification are provided

“…However, Pennell (1935) considered that the characters so far used were too weak and artificial and combined all these taxa into a large genus Lindernia characterised by the remarkably uniform corolla, curiously recurving anterior filaments and by similar septicidal dehiscence of the capsule. This treatment was subsequently followed by majority of the authors (Philcox 1968(Philcox , 2008Sivarajan & Mathew 1983;Yamazaki 1985Yamazaki , 1990Fischer 1992Fischer , 1995Fischer , 2004Lewis 2000). However, doubts arose due to the morphological heterogeneity (Fischer 1992) whether Lindernia was really monophyletic.…”
