FB74371B880BFFE669F1F9A1FD594752.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — Lippia horridula is a species endemic to the Brazilian states of Goiás, Tocantins and the Distrito Federal, occurring in the “ cerrado ” and the “ campo rupestre ”, above 1000 m altitude, resprouting after the areas have been burnt. Selected specimens examined: — BRAZIL. Distrito Federal: Área do Cristo Redentor, 28 August 1990, P. S. Câmara & M. S. Câmara 23 (SI); Estação Florestal Cabeça de Veado, July 1985, Equipe do Jardim Botânico de Brasília 448 (HEPH); Reserva Ecológica do IBGE, 17 October 1994, M. L. Fonseca & F. C. A. Oliveira 138 (SI). Goiás: Corumbá, Pirineus, 28 July 1952, A. Macedo 3694 (SI); Prope Cavalcante, 30 September 1829, W. J. Burchell 7921 (K); Prope Canga, 5 November 1828, W. J. Burchell 8291 (K). Tocantins: Prope Porto Nacional (Porto Real), 24 March 1829, W. J. Burchell 8746 - 2 (K). Observations: — Lippia horridula is similar in habit to Lippia grandiflora Mart. & Schauer ex Schauer (1847: 591), from Southern Brazil, with the development of a woody xylopodium and with a similar flower colour, but differs in the form of the leaves, which in L. horridula are narrowly elliptic, with the margins serrate and ciliate at the apices of the teeth and with the calyces densely hispid, while in L. grandiflora the leaves are ovate to rotund with margin crenate and calyx with strigose indumentum. A study of the type collections of Lippia adpres sa Hayek (1906: 87) resulted in its recognition as a new synonym of Hyptis obtecta Bentham (1848: 99).	en	Salimena, Fátima Regina G., Múlgura, Maria Ema, Harley, Raymond (2012): A new combination in Verbenaceae and a new synonym in Lamiaceae from Brazil.

FB74371B880BFFE669F1F9A1FD594752.taxon	description	Hyptis obtecta is a very striking species, occurring in the “ cerrado ” and the “ campo rupestre ” of Goiás and characterized by its small, sessile leaves, which are cordate and adpressed to the stem, and covered by a dense indumentum of appressed grey hairs. A superficial similarity between species of the genus Hyptis (Lamiaceae) with species of Lippia (Verbenaceae) has resulted in a confused taxonomy with the recent and necessary creation of a number of synonyms (Harley & Salimena 1998), such as Lippia cipoensis Moldenke (1959: 446) as a synonym of Hyptis passerina Mart. ex Bentham (1833: 89) and Lippia grisea Moldenke (1970: 242) a synonym of Hyptis saxatilis A. St. - Hil. ex Bentham (1833: 90).	en	Salimena, Fátima Regina G., Múlgura, Maria Ema, Harley, Raymond (2012): A new combination in Verbenaceae and a new synonym in Lamiaceae from Brazil.
