Perezia lanigera

Burkartia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, [2] containing the single species Burkartia lanigera. [3] It is endemic to southern Argentina (Provinces of Chubut, Rio Negro, Santa Cruz). [4] [1]

This species was formerly in genus Perezia , but it was separated because it has woolly trichomes in the leaf axils, a character not seen in any other Perezia. [5] The genus Burkartia was erected for it in 1976. [6] Molecular phylogenetic analyses in 2009 supported its separation from Perezia. [5]
