Two new endemic species, Hyptis raymondii and Hypenia filicifolia, discovered in Brazilian Cerrado, highlighting their ecological importance.
Hyptidinae (Lamiaceae), with 19 genera and approximately 400 species, is a major component of the Brazilian Cerrado, with many novelties recently published. Two new additions to the subtribe are proposed here: Hyptis raymondii , currently endemic to the municipality of Cavalcante, Goiás State, and Hypenia filicifolia , endemic to the Federal District. For both species, full descriptions, line drawings, photographic plates, comments on their ecology and conservation status, a discussion of morphologically similar taxa, and a distribution map are provided.
