The genus Stevia (Eupatorieae, Asteraceae) in Chile: a taxonomical and morphological analysis

Abstract: A taxonomical study of the Chilean Stevia is herein presented since there is no agreement on current names and the number of species for Chile. A detailed morphological analysis of type and non-type specimens including new field observations was undertaken. In this work we recognized only one species of Stevia in Chile: S. philippiana. This species has a wide morphological variation mainly in leaf and pappus features. A lectotype of the name S. hyssopifolia was designated. Stevia hyssopifolia var. panulensis w… Show more

“…The genus Stevia Cav. (Cavanilles 1797) stands out within Asteraceae for its wide distribution, from southern United States up to northern Chile and northern Patagonia in Argentina, inhabiting different type of environments (King & Robinson 1987;Gutiérrez et al 2016), and high number of taxa with ca. 175-237 species (King & Robinson 1987;Robinson et al 2009), with high speciesdiverse areas in Mexico (Watanabe et al 2001;Turner 2015) along with South America (e.g., Robinson 2014).…”

“…One way of untangling the taxonomy of the genus is its treatment by biogeographical areas or by countries. In southern South America, some taxonomical advances have been achieved through checklists (e.g., Freire 2008;Nakajima 2010;Robinson 2014;Avila et al 2016), floristic treatments (e.g., and revisionary studies (Robinson 1930;Gutiérrez et al 2016). Uruguay is one of the South American countries that still lacks a taxonomical treatment of Stevia although Asteraceae is represented by 374 species and constitutes the second family of vascular plants in species number (Zuloaga et al 2008).…”

“…La taxonomía y distribución geográfica de la subfamilia Mutisioideae ha sido revisada recientemente por Moreira- Muñoz et al (2012). Adicionalmente, el género Stevia (Eupatorieae) ha sido recientemente revisado para Chile (Gutiérrez et al 2016). Sin embargo, no existe a la fecha un trabajo que actualice el conocimiento sistemático, taxonómico, de la diversidad y distribución geográfica de Asteráceas para la región de Arica y Parinacota.…”

“…Stevia es uno de los géneros más diversos de la tribu Eupatorieae. Presenta ~235 especies y se distribuye en el continente americano desde el sur de los Estados Unidos hasta el desierto costero en Chile y el norte de la Patagonia argentina (Cabrera and Freire 1997;Hind and Robinson 2007;Freire 2008;Freire and Ariza 2014;Gutiérrez et al 2016). …”
