Journal ArticleChecklist of the genus <i>Dendrophorbium</i> (Senecioneae: Compositae) in Peru including a new combination and a new speciesMontesinos‐Tubée, Daniel B<p>The genus<italic>Dendrophorbium</italic>occurs in South America with one species known from the Caribbean. Despite recent advances in taxonomy and phylogeny, there is a still lack of molecular studies on the delimitation and identification of the genus.<italic>Dendrophorbium</italic>is known to occupy a wide range of ecosystems mostly restricted to subtropical montane forests and montane scrub vegetation of the central Andes. In this study, a review of the species occurring in Peru is presented, in addition to material examined at different herbaria. The new combination<italic>D. ligulatum</italic>which is separated from<italic>D. yalusay</italic>, and the new species,<italic>D. arachnoideum</italic>is described from the department of Huánuco in central Peru. The species are assessed using the standards of the IUCN and additional notes are given.</p>Nordic Journal of Botany2024-11-0110631636Nordic Journal of Botany2024110107-055Xhttps://doi.org/10.1111/njb.043852019425National Science Foundation
