Description
Summary:Six new Brazilian species are described and illustrated. Eremanthus argenteus, E. auriculatus, and E. uniflorus are restricted to the Chapada dos Veadeiros of central Goias. Eremanthus seidelii is endemic to the cerrado surrounding Furnas reservoir in southwestern Minas Gerais, and E. graciellae is limited to the Serra Geral mountain range separating Goias and Bahia. Eremanthus rondoniensis is closely related to E. mattogrossensis and represents a western extension (into Rondonia) of the glomerulatus-goyazensis-mattogrossensis complex.
