Indocypraea (Asteraceae-Heliantheae-Ecliptinae) is a newly-erected monotypic genus, containing only I. montana. Historically, this species has been variously included in Verbesina, Wedelia, and Wollastonia, and its position has never been investigated from a molecular phylogenetic perspective. Based on chloroplast DNA sequences, I revealed that I. montana is only remotely related to these genera, and is sister to Synedrella with strong support. This topology is also significantly favored by the statistical topology tests. The generic status of Indocypraea is further supported by the achenes brownish yellow and densely dotted with white or yellowish white mottles, and a base chromosome number of x = 37, both of which are distinct in the subtribe Ecliptinae. Additionally, I clarify the identity of Wedelia wallichii var. megalantha, and synonymize it with I. montana.

Abstract—The recently resurrected monotypic genus Monrosia (Polygalaceae) is endemic to the Argentinian provinces of Catamarca to San Juan in the southern Andes. We here describe and illustrate Monrosia sanjuanensis, a new species endemic to the province of San Juan and the second species of the genus, and revise the genus. Monrosia and its two species are described and analysed in a phylogenetic context, using nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences. A distribution map, illustration, photos of the morphological structures of the two species, and taxonomic key are provided. We designate a lectotype for the name M. pterolopha.
