Type species.

Verrucularina glaucophylla (A. Juss.) Rauschert (≡ Verrucularia glaucophylla A. Juss.).

Notes.

Verrucularina is a replacement name for Verrucularia A. Juss. since the latter is a posterior homonym of Verrucularia Suhr, a genus previously assigned to algae but currently belonging to Bryozoa. The genus currently comprises two accepted species (one threatened species; Suppl. material 1) of shrubs endemic to campos rupestres of the Amazon rainforest and Caatinga biomes of Brazil, South America (Almeida et al. 2020; POWO 2024). For an identification key for all species of Verrucularina, see Anderson (1981) for the Guyana Highland or Almeida et al. (2020) for Brazil.
