Burkartia

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.

[6] Molecular phylogenetic analyses in 2009 supported its separation from Perezia.
