2D2E9ABDFFB1519FB3940971FF1F694B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet is a reference to " Alto da Serra ", located in the District of Paranapiacaba, Municipality of Santo Andre, Sao Paulo State, where the species, including the type gathering, has been collected since 1917. This area was the first biological station in South America, established in 1909 by Hermann Friedrich Albrecht von Ihering. In 1938, under the administration of the Instituto de Botanica de Sao Paulo, the name was changed to Reserva Biologica do Alto da Serra de Paranapiacaba (Marcolin 2009).	en	Rodrigues, Izabella Martins da Costa, Knapp, Sandra, Stehmann, Joao Renato (2021): Two new species of Athenaea Sendtn.

2D2E9ABDFFB1519FB3940971FF1F694B.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Athenaea altoserranae is endemic to Brazil and restricted to the edges of the plateau of the Serra do Mar mountain range in Sao Paulo State. It grows in the wet Atlantic rain forest (Mata Atlantica), often in clearings and along trails or other open places from 714 to 1,100 m elevation.	en	Rodrigues, Izabella Martins da Costa, Knapp, Sandra, Stehmann, Joao Renato (2021): Two new species of Athenaea Sendtn. (Solanaceae) from the Atlantic forests of south-eastern Brazil. PhytoKeys 178: 1-15, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.178.64609, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.178.64609
2D2E9ABDFFB1519FB3940971FF1F694B.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Specimens of Athenaea altoserranae have been variously identified in herbaria as Aureliana fasciculata (Vell.) Sendtn., Aureliana fasciculata var. longifolia (Sendtn.) Hunz. and Barboza or Aureliana glomuliflora Sendtn. - all currently recognised as synonyms of the widespread glabrous species Athenaea fasciculata (Vell.) I. M. C. Rodrigues & Stehmann. Athenaea fasciculata is the most widespread species of the genus and is distributed along the Atlantic rain forest from southern to north-eastern Brazil, but also occurs south to Paraguay and Argentina and west to eastern Peru and Bolivia (see Rodrigues et al. 2019). Athenaea altoserranae is sympatric with A. fasciculata, A. cuspidata, A. pogogena, A. picta, A. sellowiana and A. wettsteiniana. Hunziker and Barboza (1990) recognised three infraspecific taxa within their circumscription of Aureliana fasciculata (A. fasciculata var. fasciculata, A. fasciculata var. longifolia Sendtn. and A. fasciculata var. tomentella Hunz. & Barboza). They included material of Athenaea altoserranae in their circumscription of var. Athenaea altoserranae longifolia along with other specimens collected in Bahia and the border of Sao Paulo with Parana (SP / PR); the only original material we have seen for var. Athenaea altoserranae longifolia was destroyed in the bombing of the Berlin herbarium and no duplicates have been found, but a photograph (F neg. 2880, of an un-numbered F. Sellow collection from " Brasilia australiore " annotated " Bassovia glomuliflora Dun. β longifolium ") corresponds to A. fasciculata s. l. and not to A. altoserranae (Rodrigues et al. 2019). Although all of the specimens included in var. Athenaea altoserranae longifolia by Hunziker and Barboza (1990) share completely glabrous leaves, the plants from Bahia and from the Sao Paulo / Parana border have small flowers, long-obovate leaves with a cuspidate apex and longer petioles, thus distinguishing them from the plants here recognised as A. altoserranae. We currently include these plants from Bahia and from the Sao Paulo / Parana border in our circumscription of A. fasciculata s. l. Athenaea altoserranae can be distinguished from A. fasciculata s. l. by its erect and long-lanceolate leaves clustered at the tips of shoots versus broader leaves evenly spaced along the stem, warty versus smooth fruiting pedicels and dark brown versus green mature fruits. Phylogenetic studies of the group, using molecular data (plastid and nuclear markers), provide additional support for the distinction of these populations. Zamberlan et al. (2015) found that Athenaea altoserranae (as Aureliana sp. nov.) does not belong to the same clade as Aureliana fasciculata, but is, instead, a member of a clade with A. sellowiana (Sendtn.) I. M. C. Rodrigues & Stehmann and A. velutina (Sendtn.) D'Arcy that is sister to Athenaea pogogena (Moric.) Sendtn. + Athenaea cuspidata Witasek + Athenaea picta (Mart.) Sendtn. Athenaea sellowiana is also morphologically similar to A. altoserranae in its glabrous stems and leaves and is broadly sympatric with it in Sao Paulo State. The two species can be distinguished by flower texture (calyx and corolla fleshy in A. sellowiana and foliaceous in A. altoserranae) and the more strictly lanceolate leaves of A. altoserranae (versus narrowly oblanceolate, elliptic or oblong leaves in A. sellowiana).	en	Rodrigues, Izabella Martins da Costa, Knapp, Sandra, Stehmann, Joao Renato (2021): Two new species of Athenaea Sendtn.

C131E62F3EE55B11ACB89E106C35B21A.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Athenaea hunzikeriana is easily recognised by its purple, eglandular-pubescent mature fruits on erect or spreading pedicels, its large seeds and the distinctive inflorescences with a short but persistent axis. Other species of Athenaea have axillary fascicles, with no rhachis along which pedicel scars can be observed. This species is morphologically similar to and sympatric with A. pogogena, with which it shares almost all flower characteristics, but can be distinguished by its subglobose (versus conic or ovoid) berry and leaf pubescence of mostly eglandular trichomes with sparse minute glandular trichomes, rather than densely glandular pubescent leaves. Athenaea hunzikeriana is also vegetatively similar to A. anonacea Sendtn. and A. martiana Sendtn. in having pubescent leaves but is differentiated from both those species by its pubescent fruit and non-accrescent fruiting calyx. It is also sympatric with A. fasciculata but differs from that species in its conspicuous pubescence (A. fasciculata is glabrous, see discussion of A. altoserranae above).	en	Rodrigues, Izabella Martins da Costa, Knapp, Sandra, Stehmann, Joao Renato (2021): Two new species of Athenaea Sendtn.
