Habitat and distribution.
Tanaecium parviflorum
occurs in caatinga vegetation from eastern Brazil (Bahia,
Ceara
, Minas Gerais,
Paraiba
, Pernambuco), and is also found disjunctly in Mato Grosso do Sul, in an area with drained soil.
Phenology.
Flowering: December to February and April; fruiting: February to March and November to December.
Notes.
Tanaecium parviflorum
can be distinguished from all other species of the genus by the dentate leaflet margins, calyces aristate (rarely mucronate), and fruit apices caudate. Like
T. cyrtanthum
and
T. tetramerum
, this species is also caducous when flowering. However,
T. parviflorum
differs from these two species by the strongly compressed corollas (Tab.

).
