• Abstract:

  ABSTRACT: Sisyrinchium L. (Iridaceae) is a pan-tropical genus distributed at all altitudes but especially in southern regions. Johnston (1938) studied Sisyrinchium for Brazil, also including neighboring countries such as Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay; in this paper the author recognized 28 species and included another 11 doubtful species. In previous publications (Chukr 1988, 1992, 2003) several species weren’t recognized because of the analysis of the type-materials and its original description. In Flora of Brazil (Eggers & Inacio, 2020) it recognized 71 species of Sisyrinchium, revalidating many previously invalid species and proposing some new names. Discussion of eighteen species names and their taxonomic problems, table, figures and graphs are presented in this work.
