(1874). Types: ‗Tucuman, frequens in pratis alpinis supra Cienaga. Catamarca, in alpinis Vayas altas alt. 9-
11000'.‘ Syntypes: Lorentz 148, 623, GOET.
Argentina, Bolivia (Tarija), ?Peru.
Alpine pastures.

February–March.
Tarija: Fiebrig 3157.
Perezia ciliaris D. Don ex Hook. & Arn., Companion Bot. Mag. 1(No. 2): 34 (1835). Type: ‗Clarionia ciliaris,
Don, MSS. … ; we believe it to be one of Cuming‘s plants, and therefore suspect it is a mere state of P.
carthamoides.‘ Holotype: K.
Clarionea ciliaris (D. Don ex Hook. & Arn.) DC., Prodr. 7: 61 (1838).
Homoeanthus nivalis Phil., Anales Univ. Chile 87: 308 (1894). Type: ‗Ad limitem nivis perpetuae l. d. Chayanta
inter Oruro et Chuquisaca invenit cl Amatus Pissis, meumque communicavit.‘ [‗En el lìmite de la nieve
eterna, en Chaganta, entre Oruro y Chuquisaca, lo encontró Amado Pissis, y me lo comunicó. 60532. –
Pizarro, 1960: 147.]
*Perezia foliosa Rusby, Mem. Torrey Bot. Club 6(1): 71 (1896). Type: [Bolivia:] ‗Turedon, 1891 ([Bang] 1131).‘
Holotype: NY (00231001); isotypes: GH (11039), NY (00231002 – ex College of Pharmacy Herbarium), US
(00067020). Note: It was only to the ‗isotype‘ that Simpson Vuilleumier applied the type label, perhaps
unaware of the other duplicate. No lectotypification was indicated in her paper.
*Perezia scapellifolia J. Koster, Blumea 5(3): 680 (1945). Type: [Bolivia:] ‗Hab.: auf den hôchsten Bergwiesen bei
Comarapa, ca. 2800 m alt., April 1911, Bl. hellblau, [Herzog] n. 1915.‘ Holotype: L(94437119).
Perezia scapellifolia J. Koster var. parvifolia J. Koster, Blumea 5(3): 680 (1945). Type: [Bolivia:] ‗Hab.: in
Grashängen des Cerro Sipascoye, 3900 m alt., April 1911, [Herzog] n. 1915 bis.‘ Holotype: L(94437118).
Perezia coriacea Tovar, Publ. Mus. Hist. Nat. ―Javier Prado‖, Ser. B, Bot. 8: 21 (1955). Type: [Peru:].

Holotype: USM (15711); isotype: GH (11038).
Argentina, Bolivia (Chuquisaca, Cochabamba, La Paz), Ecuador, Peru.
Alpine pastures above tree-line.
2000–4200 m.
November–June.
Note: Dillon & Hensold (1993) placed P. ciliaris (including P. coriacea) within the synonymy of P. pungens.
However, Vuilleumier (1969: 95) whilst admitting that the two might be ‗merely ecotypes‘ she maintained
them as separate species, reflected in the key above. Doubtless molecular analyses and further collections
throughout the range will clarify the situation, as well as the position of P. carduncelloides. Wood et al. 23326 is
c. 90 cm tall.
Perezia ciliosa (Phil.) Reiche, Anales Univ. Chile 116: 426 (1905).
Clarionea ciliosa Phil., Anales Mus. Nac. Chile, Secc. 2, Bot. 8: 35 (1891). Type: [Chile:] ‗Ad Copacoya 3500 m.
s. m. lecta.‘ Holotype: SGO; isotype: LP. Note: Pizarro (1960: 136) cited two specimens in SGO – 44833 &
60603 – which may represent a holotype and isotype, divided holotype material, or syntypes.
Perezia ciliosa (Phil.) Reiche var. dentata Cabrera, Revista Invest. Agric. 11(4): 409 (1957). Type: ‗Argentina.
Jujuy, Dep. Humahuaca, Mina Aguilar, 4650 m s.m., leg. Cabrera 9216, 13-I-1948.‘ Holotype: LP. Note:
However, Freire & Iharlegui (2000: 330) suggested that material might also possibly be in BA, BAA or
BACP.
