VIERA BARRETO, JESSICA N. y SANCHO, GISELA. Conservation status of the Argentinean species of Kaunia (Oxylobinae, Eupatorieae, Asteraceae).. Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. [online]. 2018, vol.53, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 1851-2372.
Conservation status of the Argentinean species of Kaunia (Oxylobinae, Eupatorieae, Asteraceae). The species of Kaunia represent ecologically important elements of the Andean subtropical forests and montane scrubs. Three species of this genus live in Argentina. Two of them, K. lasiophthalma and K. saltensis, are important components of the Yungas Phytogeographic Province. The third species, K. rufescens, lives in the Paranaense Province. The conservation status of the Argentinean species of Kaunia is herein presented for the frst time following the methodology proposed by IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources). Based on the evidence obtained from populations of the species of Kaunia analyzed, we preliminary assign the conservation status "Low concern" (LC) which best represents the current situation of these species in Argentina.
