Distribution and habitat: — Brazil (Distrito Federal, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo). Campo rupestre, cerrado and secondary forest; 400–2900 m.

Taxonomic Notes: —A widespread species, characterized by the conspicuous fusion of capitula with 3–4 florets. Sometimes misidentified as Eremanthus incanus , but the latter species has spherical glomerules (vs. hemispherical) and one floret per capitulum (vs. 3–4). One binomial predates the accepted one: Chresta lanceolata Vellozo (1831 : t. 151). Vellozo also published a second name in Chresta Vell. ex DC. ( C. cordata (= C. sphaerocephala Candolle 1836: 85 )). Vellozo names are usually considered valid based on the plates with details, but Chresta was originally introduced with two species and without a generic description and therefore it is an invalidly published generic name, as well as its included species are.
