A new species and a distribution update of <i>Calea</i> (Asteraceae, Neurolaeneae) from Mato Grosso state, Brazil
Calea is a neotropical genus of Asteraceae, Neurolaeneae, with 93 species in Brazil. A new species of Calea from Mato Grosso state, Brazil, is described here as C. grandibracteata . This new species is characterized by having a conspicuous and larger pair of foliaceous phyllaries compared to Calea hatschbachii and Calea rupicola . An identification key for the Calea species recorded in Mato Grosso, illustration, photo plates, distribution map, and taxonomic comments on the new species are provided. In addition, we confirm the occurrence of Calea polycephala in Mato Grosso.
