Blanchet, n. 1832, Martius, herb. Bras. n. 1094, on the Rio

B. parvifolia, arbor elata.—Pernambuco, Gardner, n. 954. 
24. I. Guayaquilensis (G. Don, Gen. Syst. 2, p. 391).— 
This is considered by Walpers (Linnea 14, p. 298), to be the

Bahia. I have not met with any species of this section 
amongst the Guayaquil collections I have seen.
