Resumen:
The genus Baccharis, with approximately 500 species, is one of the largestgenera of the family Asteraceae. Species of this genus are distributed mainly inthe warm temperate and tropical regions of Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile andMexico. In Argentina, 96 species have been described. Baccharis tola and Baccharisboliviensis are used in traditional medicine, in Argentina. They are popularly knownas ?tola?, ?tolilla?, ?lejía? or ?romerillo?. The occurrence and identification of flavonoidsand terpenoids have been reported from these species. The scientific validationof its medicinal properties as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and antibiotics/antifungal agents has been done. Some phytotherapeutic formulations for topicalapplications have been developed with the ethanolic extract of B. tola. Both B. boliviensisand B. tola seem to be promising species for regional development, in thesecountries, although farther studies are needed in order to elaborate the technologyfor its sustainable domestication and subsequent cultivation.
