Original type data:

Additional type data:
Peru. Huánuco: "ad Monzón, non longe a Pueblo nuevo", Ruiz & Pavón s.n. (holotype, MA; isotypes G, K).
Miscellaneous information:
Rohwer (1993) saw only a photo of the holotype in MA.
Rohwer (1986) considered this name invalid, because the text of the Flora Peruviana et Chilensis 4 remained unpublished until 1955. However, the plates have been distributed at some time between 1804 and 1830, and the plate of this species shows floral details. According to Art. 42.3 / 42.4 this is sufficient for valid publication, although the precise date cannot be ascertained.
