Resumen:
The genus Piptocarpha R.Br. (Vernonieae, Asteraceae) contains 46 species widely distributed from Central America to Argentina. The species are scandent shrubs or rarely trees, with axilary inflorescences composed of globose clusters. For our country has been only reported to P. sellowii (Sch.Bip.) Baker var. balansiana Hieron. as the single member of the genus. In the present paper is reported for the first time for Argentina to P. angustifolia Dusén ex Malme, which can be distinguished from the remaining species of Piptocarpha by the tree habit and the inflorescence clusters having a lesser number of heads, among other features.
