Abstract

After the revision of the genus Lantana in Brazil by Silva (1999), Chamissos’s concept of the genus was re-established. Therefore, the species of  Lantana sect. Sarcolippia and all the species with fruit with two pyrenos were excluded from  Lantana and they were transferred to the genus  Lippia. Moreover,  Lippia bahiensis was transferred to  Lantana and new synonyms and a superfluous name were also added.
