“…Recently, three new species of Verbenaceae, namely Lippia krenakiana P.H.Cardoso, V.I.R. Valério and Salimena, L. raoniana P.H.Cardoso and Salimena and Stachytarpheta vianae P.H.Cardoso, were described from the Diamantina Plateau (Cardoso et al 2020a, b2020b, 2021a, b2021b, 2022). The discovery of S. meninii further emphasizes the high biological importance of this region, known for its exceptional plant diversity and endemism, despite having few legally protected areas (Echternacht et al 2011).…”

“…Since the 19th century, with particular emphasis on the ‘Flora brasiliensis' (Martius 1840–1840), significant taxonomic efforts have been made to describe, document, and update information regarding the diversity and distribution of the Brazilian flora, with many new species yet to be discovered (BFG 2022). Verbenaceae is no exception, with several new species described in the last five years (Cardoso et al 2019, 2020a,b2020b, 2021a, b2021b, 2022, 2023a, b2023b, Harley et al 2019, Thode and Bordignon 2019), most of which belonging to Lippia L. and Stachytarpheta Vahl, the two largest genera of the family, respectively (Cardoso et al 2021c).…”

Stachytarpheta is mainly distributed in Brazil, where the knowledge of species richness is still in progress. Here, we describe S. meninii, a new micro‐endemic species from the Diamantina Plateau, Espinhaço Range. It is a shrub that can reach up to 1.8 meters in height, with abundant pedicellate glandular trichomes, viscous, aromatic leaves, inflorescences with oblong‐triangular bracts, and blue corollas, with a tube that is barely exserted from the calyx. The new species has been recorded from two gatherings from the same locality in the municipality of Serro, Minas Gerais state, and can be considered Critically Endangered (CR). Illustrations and a distribution map are provided for the recognition of S. meninii, along with an identification key for species of the genus found in Diamantina Plateau.

“…The Northern portion of the Espinhaço Range in Minas Gerais State has called the attention of botanists due to the remarkable diversity of plant species (Pirani et al 2003). Besides that, some regions were neglected concerning collection efforts, among them the Municipality of Monte Azul, where several new plant species were discovered in different groups of flowering plants, such as Verbenaceae (Cardoso et al 2022), Melastomataceae (Silva et al 2023), and Oleaceae (Zavatin et al 2023). As part of ongoing studies of Vellozia, we describe here two new species from the Northern portion of the Espinhaço Range from Minas Gerais State, Municipality of Monte Azul, located near the border between Minas Gerais and Bahia states.…”

Two new narrowly distributed species of Vellozia (Velloziaceae) are described, illustrated, and a preliminary status of conservation was assessed, Vellozia flavida Mello-Silva ex Magri and V. formosa Mello-Silva ex Magri. Both species occur in the municipality of Monte Azul, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, in the Campos Rupestres vegetation. Vellozia flavida is closely related to V. luteola and both are easily recognized by having yellow perianth, an uncommon character in the genus. Vellozia flavida however is distinguished by the high number of stamens (22) and the presence of capitate hypanthial emergences, whereas V. luteola has 15 stamens and subulate hypanthial emergences. Vellozia formosa is morphologically related to V. nanuzae, showing similar habits, however, it is distinguished by the leaf blades covered with long emergences on both surfaces vs. glabrous in V. nanuzae. Due to the narrow distribution of V. flavida and V. formosa and threats to their habitat such as mining and livestock industries, they were considered as critically endangered (CR) according to IUCN criteria.
