“…Baccharis genus plants are used in folk medicine in Bolivia attracting the attention of our research group that studied six Baccharis species: Baccharis latifolia (Enríquez et al, 2018;Loza Almanza et al, 2011), B. papillosa (Escobar et al, 2009;Loza Almanza et al, 2011), B. boliviensis (Calle et al, 2012;2017), B. densiflora previously identified as B. pentlandii (Sotillo et al, 2021;Tarqui et al 2012), B. tola Syn B. santelices (Villagómez et al, 2006) and B. lepthophylla (Almanza et al, 2000;Salcedo Ortiz et al, 2013). In addition, some studies suggested that the concentration of flavonoids in these plants is linked to the UV-exposure (Peñaranda, 2020). B. papillosa, previously identified as B. obtusifolia, reported the presence of phenolic compounds, coumarins, steroids and a sesquiterpene lactones (Escobar et al, 2009;Zdero et al, 1989).…”
