Baccharis macraei is a species of shrub native to Chile and Peru.
Description
The plants are 50–150 cm tall shrubs. The branching angle is relatively wide. In the first few years the stems are covered in dense trichomes, which lead to the impression of a roundstem. However the stems are edged underneath. With age the stems become greyishbrown, shiny and rugose. The firm, waxy leaves, which only have a lifespan of one year, are grouped at the apex of branches. They are obovate and have a toothedmargin. The apical leaves envelop the singular, terminal, sessileinflorescences. The capitulum is 5–7 mm wide in male plants and 4–7.5 mm wide in female plants.
