Note: Freire (1997) in providing two new combinations in Tessaria, and recognizing 4 species in Paraguay,
commented on Robinson & Cuatrecasas (1973), who reduced the genus to one species. This is important,
especially since Anderberg & Eldenäs (2006) maintained the genus as monotypic. Following Freire (1997) the
genus could contain 4 species in Bolivia. See also comments under Pluchea pertaining to Nesom‘s comments
(Nesom, 1989).

*Tessaria integrifolia Ruiz & Pav., Syst. : 213 (1798). Type/s?: ‗Habitat in Huanuci et Ambo ripis.‘ Holotype:
MA. Note: On the microfiche sheet 300 of the Ruiz & Pavñn herbarium, A4, A5 are marked as ‗Typus‘ by
Domke, to which A6 might also be considered type material. A4 and A5 possess no additional label other
than Domke‘s determination label, whereas A6 indicates ‗Tessaria integrifolia Peru‘, presumably in Pavñn‘s
hand.
Tessaria dentata Ruiz & Pav., Syst. : 213 (1798). Type: ‗Habitat copiosè in ripis, pratis et pascuis Limae et
Chancay ad Arnedo et Huaura.‘ Holotype: MA (as A4 of microfiche sheet 300 of the Ruiz & Pavñn
herbarium; A2 may well represent an isotype but lacks a label), determined as ‗Typus‘ by Domke.
