【 摘 要 】

Baccharis is an important genus of the Asteraceae family, which comprises about 500 American species, including 120 species from Brazil. Several authors such as De Candolle, Baker, Heering, Cuatrecasas, Ariza Espinar, Barroso and Giuliano have attempted to elaborate an adequate genus division in subgenera and sections. Baccharis species are economically important since they help to prevent erosion and are employed as ornamental plants, although they can become weeds of difficult control in grazing and poison to the cattle. However, in the folk medicine, many species are relevant and have been studied, aiming to contribute to their morpho-anatomical and quality control knowledge.
