From its third number onwards, given a demand for a ISSN registration, the periodical moved to the category of "journal". </p> https://periodicos.ufsm.br/balduinia/article/view/90678 2025-03-13T09:51:27-03:00 Leonardo Paz Deble deble.biol@gmail.com

<p>It is proposed the new genus Misionella belonging to the tribe Tigridieae. Misionella is closely related to the<br>genera Cypella, Kelissa and Onira, and vegetative and anatomically also resembles Herbertia. Misionella is<br>constituted by two species, Misionella Hauthalii and Misionella opalina (with two subspecies: opalina and<br>minuticristata). Misionella is endemic on grassland areas occurring in northeast Argentina (Corrientes and<br>Misiones provinces), center and northwestern Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil and southern Paraguay (Itapuã<br>and Paraguari departments ). The genus Misionella is taxonomically revised, and its species are described and<br>illustrated in detail and its geographic distribution is represented on a map. Data on etymology, geographic<br>distribution, habitat, phenology, conservation, uses and vernacular names are provided, as well as discussions<br>of taxonomic relationships of Misionella with related taxa. A dichotomous key for distinguishing the genera of<br>Iridaceae-Tigridieae from South America is presented.</p>
