Miscellaneous information:
Rohwer (1986) considered the names by Ruiz and Pavon invalid, because the text of the Flora Peruviana et Chilensis 4 remained unpublished until 1955.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 and details of a fruit. According to Art. 42.3 / 42.4 this is sufficient for valid publication, although the precise date cannot be ascertained. Van der Werff (Novon 12: 581. 2002) accepted 1802 as the year of publication, whereas the earliest reference to this work, according to TL-II, is from 1830.
