Abstract

Fritzschia Cham. is mainly distributed in the Brazilian Cerrado and, until now, was known from the Federal District and the states of Minas Gerais, Goiás, and Mato Grosso do Sul. We present the first record of the genus in the state of Bahia, reporting Fritzschia sessilis (DC.) M.J.R.Rocha & P.J.F.Guim., a taxon previously considered endemic to Minas Gerais state.
